Guy splashed clarience with the contents of the bucket and looked at Estelle with awe "i-is this were us live? I mean I couldn't believe you'd want to live here, I mean look at it there are ticks and leeches all over, this is no place for a writer," he said trying to make sure she forgot the gem. He was not only happy Estelle lived here but also a little confused, he had lived here for years and questioned everyday, sure he was a miner but he could learn a new trade quickly, maybe he could be a writer, he sure had read enough to be come one, maybe he thought looking at Estelle, she would be my teacher. He shook his head, no way was that happening, he was a simple country bumpkin why would she take him as a disciple sighing again he. He stood up putting his hand out "well it's been a pleasure, but I haven't eaten all day. Maybe you'll join me? Meal's on me" me smiled, if he succeeded in this who knows how much courage he might build, maybe he'll ask for a raise tomorrow, no scratch that he took the day off not a good time for that.
