Tumble-Down Springs is the home to the local eccentric, a woman who believes passionately in the healing properties of absolutely everything.
   No wonder then that she should choose to live on top of a choking hot sulphurous spring.
   As hard as she might try to get the locals involved in her healing ways, none will try her special remedies, none will roll with her in the cold snow (When the heat from the ground thermals hasn't thawed it!) and none will join her in the hot springs. They only have to take a quick look at the rotted and half sunk boat to know that what is in that water can't be any good for them. So she lives alone, very happy in her ways and always optimistic that one day someone will be brave enough to take her cures.
   The locals may think her a little odd, perhaps a bit of a crank, but if they only knew the truth, for our not so little old lady shows no signs of aging--and is in fact 137 years old....
