Tales of Happy Valley
Chapter 18: Giles Meets Barry

And so, it turned out that Giles arrived at Manse Orleans just a few minutes after his cousin Barry was born. The calendar on the wall read GD 71*, so he knew that his punctuality was perfect even though Barry had been working to his own calendar.

Giles Greets His Cousin Barry

He need not have worried. The children were quite charming and he was immediately smitten with baby Barry, a most joyful child. She had a commanding grace that struck Giles as a continuous call to worship.

The extended family was well-stocked with relatives who exerted tremendous influence over the politics, commerce, and social life of the valley, and all seemed eager to help Giles get on his feet wherever he decided to settle. He saw that they were always there for each other, whether they needed thousands of dollars or just someone to mow the lawn and feed the dogs while someone was out of town.

With such people in such a setting, Giles felt that he had finally found his place in the world.

*GD stands for Greg's Day, marking the number of days that have passed in Greg's life since his birth. A lot can happen in Happy Valley during a single GD, and sometimes many Greg Days will pass between lunch and dinner in other households, but this is the primary calendar for Happy Valley. So, Gregsim was 71 days old on the day that Barry was born.
