This town's an interesting little stop on her journey to Dublith. Small, originally, with a population swell after the railroad was built. Fortunately, Marian's contact knows she detests traveling too long by train - let alone sleeping in one - so that she disembarked on the way won't be a surprise.

She meanders her way towards a bed and breakfast overlooking the river that she heard about - sounds peaceful, and good for her thoughts - keeping an eye on the people around her. The relationships among people are always so fascinating...
