Claude left home well before the sun rose. First thing he did was to go to Dawsbury city. The streets were crowded as usual, with the early morning merchants setting up their tents in order to sell their products, and the shop owners opening up their shops. He headed north through the thick crowd, crossing the Prarotori River and fifteen minutes later, he was in front of 'Edward's Medicines.'
As soon as he got inside, he saw Edward sitting behind his desk with a smile on his face.
"Ah, well if it isn't Mr. Claude Rayforth, my favourite customer." He approached Claude with a smile as soon as he noticed him entering the shop. "I hope you were satisfied with your previous purchase. I hope that it was put to good use."
"Hello Edward. It's nice to see you as well. And yes, I am satisfied with my purchase, if you really must know." Claude spoke with a smile as well.
