Gabriel encounters Fanny Robin as he makes his way into the town. She is poor and meek, and offers little advice to the questioning Gabriel regarding a place to lodge for the night. However, for her kindness, Gabriel gives the girl a coin. This foreshadows the importance Fanny will later play in the plot.
