A roving eye

She's grown heavy from having four children and tries to keep her family and herself looking nice. He has a roving eye and considers himself quite a dandy. He holds his cigarette the way the guys in the movies do. He'll go away before long. Interesting that the brim of his hat echoes the roofline, wavy and worn.

Gordonton is in Person Co., not too far from Granville Co.
