In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character named Harry. He is a young man who has fallen in love with a local woman named Lily. Harry is very fond of Lily, but he is also aware that Lily is pregnant. Harry tells Lily that he has a sprained ankle and that he will have to go to the doctor's office. Lily is very upset, and Harry tries to comfort her. He tells her that the doctor will not mind if she goes to the office first, and then he will let her off the hook if she wants to. Harry then tells Lily how much he loves her, and how he has been holding her up all day, even late at night.
