The following day, the people of Woodbridge woke up unaware of the things that happened the night before in their village. Only the wife of Mr. Perkin was troubled because her husband did not return home, and she had not seen him this morning.
She became worried that something happened to him. This was the first time he did not return home. What could have happened to him? She questioned herself as she decided to leave their house and look for her husband, maybe she could ask the villagers for help. Unknown to her that trouble was brewing at the corner.
At the same time, Mr. Lucas the medieval apothecary was coming to the house of Mr. Perkin to ask him about the pills he once brought to him. He wanted to know if his wife had stopped drinking those pills, and also encourage them to go for an examination because of their inability to give birth.
