If had been a whole day since Snufkin had seen Jilly arrive in the river; she had plagued his mind with thoughts. She was new, exciting. He didn't know how one stranger had hooked his interests so quickly; it was like magic. It had rained earlier, and the smell of fresh rain had filled the air. Snufkin would make his way to the village, when he would spot a familiar hat off in the distance — Jilly. His heart thumped slightly, and he grinned as he bounded towards her.

"Jilly!" He would call, waving. This would catch her attention, the girl turning and spotting the boy running up to her.

"Hello dear Snufkin!" She would greet with a chuckle and a smile. "How are you kind stranger?" She would ask, continuing to walk once he had caught up to her.

"I am well, Dear Jilly. What brings you into the village?" He would ask her

"Well, Dear Snufkin, I am going to the baker to grab bread for when I leave again for my journey once more." She would reply
"When will that be?" He would ask her
"Well, I'm not to sure yet, Dear Snufkin." She would reply "But it will be soon, for now I will enjoy this quaint little place."

"Perhaps I may show you around?" Offered Snufkin

"I would like that, Dear Snufkin." She would say, giving a smile that made Snufkin once more feel the thump in his chest.
