BNS and BNR Choose a Destination

Unending BE - episode 161526

"Where do you want to go?" their benefactor asked Sharon and Robin.

"We're strangers in these parts," Sharon said. "What options do we have?"

"Well, the next place down the line - about thirty miles from here - is a small mining town. If you're looking for work, then I suppose there might be some openings for barmaids, or in the brothel if you aren't too fussy about what you do. Beyond that, after another twenty miles or so, is a small farming community. Then it's another ten miles to the end of the line, where there is a sizeable city and port. I imagine you could find work in the factories there."

Sharon and Robin briefly conferred, and then Robin said:

1. "We'd like to go to the mining town, please."
2. "We'll try the farming community. It sounds like it might be a more pleasant place than the others."
3. "We'll go to the city. There should be more opportunities for us there."
4. "We don't like the sound of any of those very much. Perhaps we could hop off the train between official stops?"
5. "..."
