Leaving Ben to watch the kids back at home, Virginia and Franny decide to go dancing with friends.

Eventually it becomes clear to everyone else that the two are more than just sisters-in-law, but in their somewhat bohemian culture, no one seems to care much.

One day not long after moving, Francis decides to pay a visit to their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.

Mrs. Mildred Jackson is the sister of Mary Baker's new husband, Franklin. She is an activist and journalist while her husband, Elmer, is the pastor at the local church.

"Hello there, you must be?"

"Francis Wright. I am Mary Baker's sister-in-law. I recently moved in with Virginia Wright, the wife of my late brother, and her children. We haven't been in the neighborhood long, so I thought I would pay a visit."

"Pleased to meet you, Ms. Wright. You've come at a good time; my husband is home. Would you care to join us in the sitting room?"

"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Wright. My name is Elmer Jackson, and you've already met my wife. Have you had a chance to attend a church service yet, by any chance?"

"No, we unfortunately have not. But we plan to soon. You are the pastor, I have heard."

"I am. I work as a pastor at the Brindleton Bay Church, while my darling Mildred writes articles for a local newspaper."

"I would love to read your work sometime, Mrs. Jackson."

"Of course, I do love to share my work with an interested audience."

"How long have you two lived here, by the way? I heard your brother only moved within the last year."

"That's correct. Franklin and Mary just moved in about a year ago. Elmer and I have lived here for two or three years now. We moved north from Willow Creek for better opportunities for ourselves and our three children."

"You said you have three children?"

"Yes. two girls and one boy. You said your sister has two of her own?"

"My sister-in-law, yes."

"Perhaps we can bring them together sometime. I am sure the children would love some new company."

"I think that would be lovely."
