  By the time she was finished with her notes, she was surprised by the fact they were almost to Ashbury. Anne wanted to know where to drop Mara. She was not surprised when Mara asked if she knew any good lawyers in town.

  The only problem was that Mara could hardly afford the fees of a lawyer right now. She began to have a better idea. “Anne, do you know the name of that little paper that they used to run in Ashbury?”

  After some hesitation, Anne replied, “Ah, I think my daughter gets that every now and then, is it just a weekly paper?”

  “It always used to be. I know where the office always was right on Main street in town, If you could just take me there instead I would really appreciate it.”

  “Well, sure… I feel bad about just dropping you off though. Are you sure you’re going to be ok? Is there anything I can do?”

  Mara appreciated her concern, but she didn’t know how long she was going to be there so she replied, “You’ve done a lot already. I really appreciate the ride up here. I’ll find a ride once I finish up at the paper.”

  “Oh, here it is! The Ashbury Advertiser”

  They said their good-byes and as Mara entered, she thought that she was about to make someone’s day.
