Lechance

Sadie had picked up a new shipment of fabrics at the post office, dropped off a letter to be sent home and then purchased some sundry supplies at the general store. She was pleased by how conveniently her shop was placed and had assured Mrs. Haggerty -- a vivacious married woman that was helping her in the shop -- that she'd be fine and didn't need an escort. She'd rather Mrs. Haggerty mind the store while Sadie was out.

She was loaded down with packages as she headed back down the street and didn't notice the puddle she was about to step in.
