Saturday, Gerry worked away at her cartoon strip and took a few calls about the drawing class. One more person agreed to come. Two students made a class so she phoned Judith Parsley, the only one of last autumn’s class who’d indicated she would come if winter lessons were offered. Judith was thrilled and signed up.

Gerry buzzed out to Lovering’s shopping district and stocked up on staples. She walked from where she’d parked at the grocery store past some of Lovering’s smaller merchants. On a whim she went into the British store, which she hadn’t yet fully explored.

Too many British candy bars and cookies tempted her. She kept her purchases modest—a Cadbury Flake bar and a package of oat crunchies—though she lingered a long time in front of the Doctor Who mugs. Maybe she’d buy one for her birthday. Hmm. The white one with the iconic red British telephone call box or the blue one with the Dalek saying “Exterminate!”? Too difficult. Perhaps she needed both.

Then she went across the road and had a scone (with everything) and a cup of excellent coffee at the teahouse. Well satisfied with her partial day off, she went home. There was a message on her phone answering machine. “Ah, June says—” whisper, whisper—“June says she’s changed her mind.” Click.

“Well, really!” Gerry exclaimed and put away her purchases.
