THE BRIDGEWRIGHT: "Here is my favorite trick for a case like this: leave the coins alone for a minute and ask the planks. Wood keeps an honest count of every foot that crosses it. You already know how to read it."
TOBY LATCH: "Ninety crossings, eighty four tolls. Even my sandwich math says six coins walked off somewhere." JUNE PIER: "Your sandwich math is why the Yard exists, Latch. Subtract first, then snack."

Span one. Morning fog on still water. The toll box says ninety crossings this week; the plank wear says more.
THE CASE Toll clerk Wilby Cranch logged ninety crossings and banked eighty four tolls. Six coins went somewhere the box never saw.
