Chapter 30: A Trip to the Cabin

Emile stared at the woman in surprise. He had not expected an interview before he could see Urella at her home.

“Up until now, I had met her in the forest, so why is it such a formal procedure now to meet her?” he asked himself inwardly.

“He does have a school project which Miss Urella promised to help him with,” Billy responded to the woman’s question.

“Well, then you will have to go to her cabin,” the woman said. “Maybe she’s there,” she added, looking at Emile suspiciously.

Emile looked at Billy and frowned in confusion.

“She’s also sometimes at her cabin, deeper into the woods,” Billy explained.

“Is that very far?” Emile asked. “Will you have the time to take me there?”

“I don’t mind helping you get your school tasks done,” Billy responded.
