We Had Each Other the Writer's Garret article

Seymore begins this installment by talking about the nature and importance of hope.  Then, after explaining something of the financial arrangements he and Bryhta had made for their stay at the College in Wllliamsburg, Seymore returns to the thread of his story.  The reader drifts among the nighttime wonders of the River, and a stopover at Tuckahoe includes a visit to the amazing home of Envert deGris, a well known lytfolc artist of the period.  This is followed by an overland trek to Ampthill and an unsettling visit in the home of Compton and Fenny Splatback.  The installment ends in the darkness on the River, on the far side of midnight, when calamity threatens their lives.
