Harold turned away from the front window. It's not easing up, Ruth. Perhaps we'd better think about evacuating.
The State Police said they'd give us warning if evacuation is warranted. We've always waited before. I walked to the window and stood beside him. He put his arm around my waist.
True, but let's not count on the authorities, Ruthie. We're closer to the river than anyone else in town. It's rained four days straight. I haven't seen a patrol car on this road since day before yesterday. Safer than sorry, Dear Heart. I'd rather spend two days putting everything back in order than spend two years waiting for an insurance settlement.
