Spending 5 minutes driving her to TD when she goes home, is not her every whim. She had travelled over to see him.
I am sorry, Adam, but this is absurd. We all know how generously Jeremy drove people around, but he did have a job. Can you act as chauffeur for other people while you are at work?
Say Julie was visiting, Jeremy went to work. She was in his cottage. She found that she needed something from a store - a bicycle would come in very handy in such a situation. As Julie said.
Or are you suggesting that Julie should call Jeremy at the farm, have June, who was most likely to be in the farm house (no cel phones), go out and find Jeremy somewhere in the fields. Then either ask him to come to the house because there was a call - or tell him that Julie needed him to drive her to the store.
Jeremy leaves his chores, jumps in his car, drives to Goldhanger to pick her up.
Drives her to the store she could reach in five minutes by bike. Julie hops into store, buys her chewing gum or whatever she needs, gets in the car. Jeremy drives her to his cottage, then back to the farm.
