I will take a brief break from verse, even though this will likely turn to verse sometime down the road.

I did meet Lucy today (as I suspected I one day would). She is a real person and, though she offered me her last name as well, will remain anonymous here. Her main concern is to keep her feet dry. She said she had breakfast today when refusing a donut I offered. She knows that many people do not care. I could write more, but for now my previous supposition that she was not resigned was turned around, for which I am in some way grateful to learn.

As another matter, later on my path today, I found a half penny. I will write more on that later, as well.
