He also told Lillian that she must always go with the wind, Lillian asked what would happen if the wind stopped, Henry replied then she can go her own way. Lillian never forgot what Henry had said to her, which could probably have contributed to her stern nature later on in the other novels, when she later ran Cutler's Cove.
