Getting to Know You, Getting to Know All About You...

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

Will nodded. "I guess I get that.

But maybe it would be good practice to try--and you wouldn't be alone."

"Sam...

If you are happy, and I mean really happy, being isolated, there is nothing wrong with that. Who cares what other people think? You have to do what's best for you.

But if you're not happy, and you want to do bigger and better things, you've got to get yourself out there.

Either way, you'll have friends who will support you."

"Hey. I'm told I'm a good sounding board. Anytime, right?"

"Anyway, don't be so hard on yourself. We're all hear to learn anyway. You ever want to go somewhere and need moral support, I'm your girl, I promise.

I know you'll turn out OK, Sam. You're just not quite done baking yet."
