The Lagoon is a dark and mysterious place during the night hours.  A lot of moss and lily pads surround the shore.  The water is very murky.

We are the people who live in this town. We are common, and there are many of us.
Why are you out in the lagoon at this hour? It is not safe for little girls.  Sorry sir. I was just looking for a ring I dropped whilst fishing yesterday. In the dark? It would be quite lucky to find it. Would you like help? Certainly. Here use this broom to push against the bed of the lake. Of course.  Oops, this isn't it. I think its better if I come back in the morning. I think so as well. I'll walk with you... if you are ok with that. Yes I am scared of walking alone at night, and it is quite dark here as well.  You are from town, right? I think I have seen you before.  Indeed, I live by the Old Street. You may have seen me in the  market square where I work  That's probably it. How old are you? You look close to the same age as my daughter.  I am 19 and married. You must be rather old to have a daughter my age!
