(to a villager) Excuse me, good sir. Have you heard anything about the Fe Hat Giver?
(smiling) Come in, Thomas. I've been expecting you.
(Thomas hands the villager the hat, who smiles in delight.)
(Thomas takes the hat, and the Fe Hat Giver hands him a small note.)
(Thomas exits the cottage, hat in hand. He approaches a villager who looks sad.)
I'm Thomas, from the village. I've been searching for you.
(touched) Your kindness is contagious. I want to help.
