Two friends, Mr. Emerson and Mr. Buddhist, were out walking on a lovely spring day when they came upon a man who was building a house. As they passed the house they recognized the progress that had been made. They could hear what they believed to be the stacking and enforcement of large wooden pieces.
Just as they had passed the house they quickly stopped as they heard a loud scream. Wondering where the scream came from they agreed to hurry back to the point of construction in an attempt to identify the source of the shouting.

Knowing that the action of Ms. Anderson had taken went against many social norms expected from women, she did not hesitate to continue up the ladder.
