IN A TOWN FAR EAST OFF AVONLEA
September Night, 21st through to December, 1876
"What took you guys so long? It's already past four," Nicholas Carter questioned both his younger siblings as they came into view from the rusty front door of their home.
"Riley met a boy in the store, his name was something like, Gill?" their youngest sibling teased, earning a not-so-subtle nudge from her older sister and a muted correction of "his name was Gilbert, not Gill."
Riley's face was consumed with pure embarrassment in a matter of seconds as an involuntary flush of rose red had made its way to her cheeks.
The eldest Carter boy raised one eyebrow towards them both, silently beckoning that he desired further explanation of the boy in question.
Simply eluding the questions with ambiguous responses, the Carter children carried on their regular daily chores on the farm, Riley making use of her innovative and obscure contraptions as she made her rounds in the field, harvesting and maintaining the growth of their farms crops.

"Riley, can you go to this address? A man stopped over earlier today and asked to borrow one of your farming inventions."
The sun, fading into the horizon shed a golden hue above the town, signalling the arrival of the evening. Riley Carter began making her way down the street as her hands grappled onto the handles of her large harvesting device, wheeling it as she made her way to the unknown household.
With her brother's words informing her that a man had heard about her inventions from numerous neighbours, word had spread that they would also be of assistance to him. She had found nothing but joy in hearing that she was able to be of help to others, wanting nothing more but to spend her time making the lives of others easier.
