Samuel Smithson had been busy for quite a few days, and Lucy Sullivan had completely given up on going to work. She spent her days at home cooking and visiting Samuel's grandmother for a chat.
Finally, when Samuel had some free time, he took a day off from work and went out with Lucy.
It was barely dawn when the two of them set out, stepping into the morning light. This time, instead of going to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in town, they planned to go straight to the County Town.
Lucy had checked out the town's Supply and Marketing Cooperative last time, and found that they did not have everything she needed. So, she decided it would be more convenient to go directly to the County Town instead of making multiple trips.
The bus to the County Town could only be taken from the town's bus station, and there was only one bus per day, leaving at eight in the morning and returning at two in the afternoon.
