How it opens
Dawson's Landing was a town with one street, two lies, and a steamboat a week, and you had arrived on the steamboat.
You had come as the working half of a music act, the manager, booker, and freight department of the Cappello twins.
Aunt PatsyLodgers! Nice rooms, respectable house, near the church! Oh my, you are two of them.
Two gentlemen, madam, one freight rate, and the finest piano act on the river.
Madam, we are two of most things.
Choose
Name your price and take the rooms, before the whole street finishes gathering.
Ask what the town offers by way of a concert hall.
Introduce the act properly, with its history, and let the town work its own wonder.
