"Ah, yes, you did mention that." She's probably also going to see about work while they're out there, but doesn't say so yet. As much as she enjoys spending time with Tommy, she'd rather not give him fodder to use later when they discuss how drastically her life circumstances have changed.

Staring at the dashboard and controls of the car leave her a bit speechless. She can't help but think of Tom, who would be absolutely fascinated with all of this. "I feel as if I've sat down in some sort of rocket ship," she says.

"A basket?" Mary asks, surprised. "Goodness. It almost seems like you've prepared a proper outing for us." She's pleased, but doesn't want to seem overly so. No sense in getting anyone's hopes up.
