The Beginning
Our town begins May 7 1901. We are introduced to Grover's Corner by the stage manager. We learn a lot about the town and its history. We also meet the Gibbs and the Webbs. -
George and Emily
Emily and George walk to the drugstore. George thanks Emily because she is bold enough to point out his faults and tell him he needs to correct them. He then asks Emily if she would be willing to write to him if he went to college and she says yes though he probably will get bored by the news. He then tells her that he decided to stay at Grover's Corner instead and asks if he made a big enough change if she could love him. -
