"Why so, Jack?"
"One of 'em killed me Mum."
"She was drowned?"
"No. Have you heard of the Thames River, in London?"
"Yes."
"We lived near it when I was a lad. The stench from it were so bad, it infected her lungs an' she died way before her time."
"Then it was not the water, it was the filth dumped into it. Surely an offense against the river, as much as those dwelling on it's shores."
"You think so?"
"Our Mukogawa River flows clear, so sickens no one."
"Good ta know, but I prefer the oceanside."
"And what feeds the ocean, if not the rivers which flow into it? Loving a thing, you can hardly despise that which keeps it alive."
"Humph. I suppose theer's somethin' ta that."
"Then I repeat my invitation; will you come walk beside the river with me?"
"Eh. Maybe this once."
"Why do you look bewildered?"
"Naught worthy to discuss. Just, I thought it were only yer elder women who were supposed ta be wise."
"Some of us get an early start."
