Day 2 - Morning (2) - Middle morning

[Grace]

While Grace completed the plate for Hank and Frans, she bring it to them. While giving it, she noticed Mike walking quickly toward the Café.

** Tag Mike, Hank **

[Hank Lawson]

Hank took the good from Grace and watched Mike hurry up to the cafe

[Grace]

"Something wrong Dr. Mike?" asked Grace.

"It is my sister?" asked Frans worried. "Doctor?" he asked again.

Mike glanced from Frans to Hank. "Hank, we need to talk at the clinic. If you can follow me with Frans please." she used a serious voice tone.

(Preston reached the café. He saw Grace cleaning up at one of the tables, and went hasty towards her)

Preston: Grace! What’s your charge for a cup of water?



(Grace glanced directly at Preston and found his request odd. Preston noticed her unsure reaction and began to explain, but he was in a hurry, so his tone seemed annoyed)

Preston: I’m asking because it’s highly likely that I’ll not be returning the cup. Due to certain circumstances that have come about, I won’t have the time to handle small daily tasks for the time being. Please, I hope I’m not obligated to explain further.

(Preston glanced impatient around the café and noticed Mrs. Robinson sitting at one of the tables. He glanced back at Grace who seemed to be willing to help him out with his request)

Preston: I’m in a hurry, so if you would be so kind to provide the cup of water, I’d be most appreciated.

(Grace gave an annoyed expression, but still seemed to be willing to help)

Preston: I’ll pay whatever the cost, so please.

(Preston seemed more and more unstable. His thought was now on Annabelle who he had left alone at the train station)

Grace was to answer when she was interrupted by Mrs. Robinsons at her table.

Mrs. Robinson: I'm waiting Grace. Where is my coffee?

Grace sighed and glanced back to Preston.

Grace: Well, if you are so hurry, you could fill a glasse on the counter.

Mrs. Robinson: How a manner to talk to your customers.



Grace: If you prefer wait for your coffee, I would fill the water myself Mrs. Robinson. But like you can see...

Grace pointed her six months belly.

Grace: I will not run for serving my customers.

[Preston A. Lodge III]

(Preston was a bit annoyed but could understand as Grace was in the condition she was)

Preston: Fine, and the cost for the cup?

(While quickly thinking that all the things needed for the trip could just be purchased at the café instead of the general store, because it wasn’t a mountain he and Annabelle were to climb, so no rob or such would be needed, only food and drink supply)

Preston: Actually Grace, I have more to request. By any chance you have some finished baked buns and if possible, some water in a bottle would be excellent.

(Grace made a sign for him to wait. She went over to Mrs. Robinson and gave her some more coffee while Preston began to pour up some water in a cup, from a cane nearby, unsure if Grace had a bottle for his request. Two short minutes later, Grace returned at Preston’s side)

Preston: You have a small basket or something of the likes? And I’d like to purchase two cups instead of one.

(Grace looked at him curious to his request)

Preston: Please…



**Tag Grace**

[Grace]

Grace executed the request - she fill a basket and bring it to Preston - that fearly remember her this time where he brought Miss. Maynard in visit of the around.

She made the count before brought it to Preston - all this under the curious glance of Mrs. Robisons which seem have nothign else more to do than observe people.

Grace: Anything else to add? Salad, apple?

[Preston A. Lodge III]

(He thought to himself that this was no picnic, but fresh fruit sounded like a good idea for Annabelle)

Preston: Why yes, one apple would be fine.

(He pulled out some cash and looked upon Grace)

Preston: How much will it be Grace?

**Tag Grace**

[Grace]

While adding and apple in the basket she finally made the count.

Grace: With the basket and the glasses it would be 30 cents.

She given the bsket to the banker, while trying to smile to mrs. Robinsons, which seem have nothign more than have this spy glance on them.

[Preston A. Lodge III]

(Preston handed Grace two bits and five cents)

Preston: Here you are Grace, and thank you.

(He smiled and was happy to have received all his supplies that he wanted for the trip. Mrs. Robinson had only taken a few sips from her coffee, when she got up from her seat and walked over to Grace and Preston)



Preston: Good day Mrs. Robinson.

Mrs. Robinson: Mr. Lodge.

(Preston turned around and began to walk away. Mrs. Robinson turned to Grace)

Mrs. Robinson: The coffee was cold. I’m not paying for it. You can have three cents for my first order.

(Preston slightly heard what had been said and turned his head. He thought she might have had a bad day as usual, and then he continued walking out of the café and back towards the train station)
