Chapter 6.1: The Railway Station
Jonas was settling in quite comfortably. He was hoarding up his cash, as his expenses were small at the moment, just a few dried herbs from the General Store, although he sensed that the Larsons weren't much for fancy eating so he stuck to stews, a meat loaf one day, and bacon and eggs and pancakes come breakfast time.
He tried to learn a bit more about horses too, certainly got more accustomed to being around them.
He was happy to extend his employment for a few more weeks. It wouldn't do for ever, but it was mostly peaceful (apart from all the hollering at night), and he was content to gently potter for the time being.
Long term he'd wish for something more. Maybe set up a little business, locksmithing or explosives. He was still investigating the area, seeing what there was need for.
