Lidia after filling her wagon and shopping was all sweaty and she wanted to wear one of her new dresses.<br/>She heard the Lore Mistress call a meeting that would take place in an hour. She hurried to her room and placed her jewelry in a box. Placed her dirty clothes in a pile on the floor, on top of the quilt, she made into a bedroll. She was glad the inn provided toiletries. Lidia grabbed her note pad and graphite pencil and scribbled buy lye soap, glycerin, assorted scented toilet water, shampoo bottles, lotion jars, paraffin wax, soap making kit, and flowerpots and seeds.<br/><br/>She bathed, dried with a towel, then dressed in brand new fitted, white corset; white cotton pantaloons with eyelet trim; a gathered why cotton petticoat with knife pleats at the hem;  a green, red, and blue plaid, full dress that had ruffled at the ankles; black leather, Mary Jane shoes. She opened her jewlerybox and slid her silver bracelet on her left wrist, her puzzle ring on her right ring finger, and slipped her dagger in her leather sheath that she fastened around her left leg. The blond placed her timepiece in her left dress pocket and attached the chain to her corset. She carried her wagon down the stairs and rushed to the general store next door to the inn.<br/><br/>Lidia had just over 45 minutes to shop and get back. She was lucky the shopkeeper had everything on her list. She purchased a bundle of dishtowels; toiletries all in a carrying case; a soap making kit; jars  and towels of various sizes; and eight multi-sized containers for storing food, and a first aid kit; and medicines for aches and pains, stomach upsets, poison ivy, rashes, nausea, and minor ailments.<br/><br/>Lidia knew that around back of every general store was a brim of discards. The farmer's daughter found a treasure trove that contained: 16 small jars with mismatched lids; a ceramic vase that had a dried rose in it. Lidia tossed the flower and stuck the vase into of the one of the assorted ceramic drinking mugs she found in a cardboard box. One of the mugs was barely chipped at the base. It would hold hot liquid. Someone had dumped in a pile canning supplies, a welcome mat, a bundle of discarded wood, logs, broom with dustpan, paint and paint brush, a can of turpentine, a bottle of liquid glue, assorted pails, milking stool, and a hall tree with lidded seat and umbrella stand with an umbrella that worked.<br/><br/>Lidia's clock chimed; she set it 15 minutes fast. She pulled the red wagon to her tarped wagon; and placed the small wagon under her big wagon.  Breathless, the farmer's daughter arrived in the inn then ordered a cold mug of apple cider. The blond entered the meeting room; as was headed for her seat, she Encountered River.  She thought River was full of bull when he spoke.<br/><br/>"River. Did ya now. Sure ya ain't forgotten somet'n. It's gonna be months before we gets back 'ere." She motioned to Jiao, "Come wit me Jaio, yas an me best become friends. Ya be learn'n me lots."<br/><br/>The farmer's daughter took a seat on the other side of the room then counted her remaining coins. The blond had 50 silver and five copper coins remaining. She returned the pouch and closed it.<br/><br/>"Did ya get w'at all ya needed?"
