Behind the scenes[]

In Rubble Without A Cause, when Gwendelyn peeked through Graham's door, watching him read the decree book, reading Addendum 48677, but not outloud unknowing of what the addendum is about. Just finished reading it, he signed saying "They were right".

In Once Upon a Climb, as Gart feels that he is not Graham's favourite out of him and Gwendelyn, not falling for "Own special way" he loves them both. And say "it doesn't matter" as it includes addendum 48677 to back it up. Saying "Not with Addendum 48677 in the books".

Knowing that he'll be King and Gwendolyn won't, even if she is Graham's favourite, which Is never said by Graham.

In Snow Place Like Home is where this addendum comes into play in the present time when the rule is changed to any person suitable for the role as ruler of Daventry, but also was included for an important reason as well, which has to be settled imediutly due to Graham's condition.

It holds the main plot of the argument between Gart and Gwendolyn.
