A young woman could be seen walking up the road to the cottage. Her pace was steady but leisurely, she was determined not to break a sweat. She apparently had missed a ride by only a few minutes and she was quite sure that she could have have appealed to the old man's sensibilities but the locals had kept giving her the run around and no one else was willing to assist at the moment. She didn't have time to wait for another person to take pity on her, she really needed to get some rest. She adjusted her clothing as she drew near to the cottage, keenly aware that her clothing was out of date. The woman at the counter in Annabel's had told her that she looked to have shopped in a high falutin vintage store. She frowned.<em>I like my lace and velvet, I don't understand why they have fallen so out of fashion in these times.</em>Ah well, she would have to make the best of it.<br/><br/>She smoothed her blonde hair as she approached the porch. Her waist length braid was mostly still intact but a few wisps had broked free around her temple and she wanted to make a better first impression than she had back in town. She was fairly sure the older couple were the owners, was the young man related to them perhaps? Or was he the reason she had just missed a ride? She smiled softly at all three, not knowing specifically who to address.<br/><br/>"Good day everyone" she said with a curtsey. "I was told back in town that I might find a room here" She looked each in the eyes in turn as she spoke. "Unfortunately, I do not have the right amount of currency to purchase goods here. I have very little of your<em>good ole american u s dollars</em>but I have have old and foreign currency being kept at the bank in town if you know of someone who could give a fair exchange?" She shook her head. "The bank said they would keep my things safe but that they did not have the ability to exchange the coins."
