The others arrive at Tiverton from NYC – tired and slightly dishevelled – only Matty appears to be her usual cheery self – off to the Stone House – circa 1919 – built from local stone – originally a hunting lodge overlooking the river – now hidden away in a cluster of native trees and neatly trimmed by lush lawn – chipmunks and squirrels abound - huge central lounging space – a more serene setting in which to prepare for the wedding would be hard to imagine.
To the liquor store to supplement Amy’s stocking of the StoneHouse and (to be discovered much later) – lose Rick’s wallet - Graeme intrigues the proprietors – they immediately treat him as the “long lost cousin” – Americans continue to delight – friendly – helpful – courteous – Graeme keeps telling them – “even the people in New York are friendly”

To the convenience store for milk, coffee, sugar and salt – Bernie stunned - nothing substantial – lollies – ice creams – biscuits – anything sweet – sugar supplemented cereals – dog food – more dog food – practically nothing substantial
