As midday approached, with her stomach rumbling, Morwenna tucked into what was essentially a brunch.

She felt replete and satisfied, and her mood greatly improved.

She went to the yard, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work.

Weeding and tilling the soil was no challenge for her.

The yard was lovely and spacious, although overrun with weeds.

Growing up in the mountains, Morwenna viewed anything that wasn't a colorful flower or a crop as a weed.

Weeds could hinder crop growth and had to be removed.

So, she diligently pulled out all the verdant weeds and tidied up the entire yard.

She knew Stuart was testing her patience, but she wasn't scared.

Norbert had warned her about Stuart's temper, and she felt she should be more patient with her husband.

The market was in District 8, preserved at the demand of local elders.

Holding her groceries and eyeing the dwindling cash in her purse, Morwenna knew she needed a job.
