Stuart felt a pang of bitterness but quickly explained, "Norbert isn't in Phineas's hands anymore. I've already moved him someplace safe."

Stuart had long known how important Norbert was to Morwenna, so he had taken precautions well in advance. As he orchestrated Morwenna's rescue, he also ensured Norbert's safety.
