: Constance, Watercarrier of New Magincia[+bye +job +name +strangers +scoundrels +locket found]
You see an angelic young woman who gives you a smile of complete innocence.
"<AvatarName>!" says a wide-eyed Constance, "What may I do for thee?"
name{
"My name, <AvatarName>, is Constance." She shyly lowers her eyes.
}[-name]
job{
"I carry water from the well of humility to all of the homes here in New Magincia."
}[+New Magincia +well of humility]
well of humility{
"The water from the well is pure and cool. If thou wouldst like I will pour thee some."
yes{
With a big smile Constance takes a dipper and submerges it in the cool water of her bucket. She draws out the dipper and hands it to you. You drink and find the water delicious and very refreshing.
<Iolo> "Actually, I feel quite parched myself. Might I have some as well?" Constance nods yes, and hands him a dipper of water. He drinks with loud gulping sounds.
<Shamino> "I, too, am feeling dry. Wouldst thou share thy water with me, milady?" Constance fills the dipper with water for Shamino and he drinks until water runs down his chin.
<Shamino> You see Shamino nudge Dupre. "Art thou not going to have a drink?"
<Dupre> "I shall wait until we find something a bit stronger than water to quench my thirst."
<Spark> Constance hands Spark a dipper full of water. He drinks it down in one long slurp. Upon finishing it, he burps. With an embarrassed grin he bows apologetically to Constance as he hands her back the dipper.

"Once I was in love with Henry, the peddler, but then I learned he is a liar and a cad. Perhaps soon mine heart shall belong to another."
[+another]
You tell Constance of Robin's plans for her. She gives you a shocked look. "Many thanks. I now know that my rightful place is with Henry."
}[-heart]
locket found{
You tell Constance of how you have returned the locket that has been stolen from Henry. "Oh, how could I ever have doubted my dear darling Henry?" she frowns. "I thank thee for telling me the truth."
<Henry> "Constance, I am sorry that things ran afoul as they did, but if thou wilt, I would like thee to have this locket as a symbol of my love."
"My sweet Henry, mine heart belongs to only thee." END

another{
"There is a charming and mysterious stranger on the island named Robin. He says one day he may show me the world and buy me many fine things." Constance sighs. "He even gave me some lovely flowers."
}[-another +Robin]

}[-Battles]

"Leavell was charming and witty. He can always make me laugh."
}[-Leavell]

"Doth that not sound nice?"
}[-baths]

You gently explain to Constance that Robin, Battles and Leavell were scoundrels with intent to do her great harm. She is quite alarmed. Then you explain that they will not be troubling her anymore. She thanks you.
