That money was naturally provided unconditionally for the Green family and Leonard. Since the aim of our meeting wasn't to fish, they rarely caught any. Instead, I, as a beginner, caught a few large fish.
Jedidah looked atmeaningfully and said, "There goes your beginner's luck, Mrs. Harmon. Impressive." I wore a courteous smile from the beginning till the end, feigning friendliness with him.
