Low Points

• Martha and Sophie are doting over Peter, and Nathan thinks to himself that they shouldn't because he doesn't deserve it because how he treats his Aunt is disgraceful
• I guess he means by giving them his already limited money
• Always helping
• Peter than offers his own seat to someone else, saying he's going to go help his aunt in the kitchen
• Nathan should shut up

Oddities
