Has anyone else noticed that there are no poor people here in Preya? I haven't seen any beggars, or workhouses, and there aren't filthy and ragged muggles all over the place. Most of the muggles here can read, too.
Do you suppose it's deliberate, and the paupers simply aren't invited here? My father told me never to speak to muggles because of how dirty they are. Aunt Phoebe said that if you shook a muggle's hand you'd get an awful disease. I've been in Everdale for months and I think if that were true here then I'd be ill by now.
