When the lawyer heard that he would go forty miles away from the city to serve a summon, he became happy. He was frustrated with the life of the city and liked that he would get to catch a glimpse of simple country life. In contrast, he found New Mullion disappointing. He disliked its muddy streets and wooden shops.
