Yeah that is what I thought! RE: The Lewisham thing being where he's based.
What if maybe, since Norrell very publicly helped the vamps, Fagin sends the boys around to stir things up in Lambeth which Norrell just took? Petty revenge, etc etc. He wouldn't, tbh, notice if they caused trouble in Lewisham particularly because Lewisham WAS fae territory so it'd make sense -- but if they crossed into Lambeth which Norrell now considers his victory and made it look weak he'd be on it like white on rice.
That'd trigger him to immediately send Childermass to FIX IT RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW which could end up with him finding Nancy associating with them. Then, being Childermass, he could first try to coax her to come with him then (if necessary) bundle her up and drag her in and fling her through the door. JUST GET THE JOB DONE.
How it goes from there is up to both you and Nancy! Norrell is, despite being a pigheaded stubborn man, very weak to damseling. He'd probably offer to try and banish Fagin if he understood he was a problem, and would generally be.... a lot less frightening than Sylvia because he is obviously not very emotionally strong. He's just FULL OF HOT AIR.
