Nathan Lee took it for granted that Paul Abbot had his every move under the tightest surveillance. It would mean betraying her father, to whom he'd promised to deliver Miranda, or trying to betray him.

They knew how to quarry limestone, sow wheat, work leather, smith iron, and herd goats. In the meantime, Nathan Lee wanted to prepare the clones for alien times.
