Harriet Smith followed her school friends to the market in Kingston. They didn't get out to Kingston often, and Harriet looked forward to market day every time.

"Oh!" Elizabeth exclaimed, grabbing Harriet's hand. "I see my brother!"

Harriet followed her friend rather than trying to let go.

"Robert!" she called out.

"Elizabeth!" he smiled, greeting her. "I had no idea you were coming to the market today."

"Yes, several of us made the journey today. This is Harriet Smith, and-" she looked, but the other friends had disappeared into the crowd. "I have no idea where the others have gone."
