"North Yarmouth, about two miles from Gillespie's. It's on a dirt road—off Route 9."
"I like Gillespie's," Oliver said. They sometimes drove out there to buy vegetables and eat donuts at outside tables that overlooked the Royal River.
"It's a real Maine house with an ell and an attached barn, not too big, perfect for a garage and tools and stuff. We could get a doggie for Emma."
"How much?"
"They're asking one-twenty. The house needs painting. There isn't much land with it—four acres."
"Four acres is a lot," Oliver said. "I mean, not in the middle of
Kansas, but . . ."
"It's about half field and half woods," Jennifer said.
"I guess we ought to go look."
"Let's go!"
"Now?'
