Plot bullets

Shavings is a nickname for the town recluse and town-crank.
He makes his living carving and selling wooden, wind-driven, ornaments.
A young woman and her daughter arrive in town and are in need of a place to live and a friend.
He supplies those needs and more.
His heart is compassionate and his mind has a wisdom, only appreciated by those who know him best.
He gives up some of his own happiness for others, but when all is done, he has the proof of his success. His work is evidenced by, but is much, much, more than life's mere, Shavings.
