I am going to assume you missed the peasant woman. Generally only available some time during the day when they are out and about. She is tied to a woman in the town where the Reverend is, if you speak to her she will give you Tulips, if you give her some other flowers. You then give the Tulips to a peasant woman who is in the peasant town just south of the Reverend's town. Neither of these characters are 'named', they just have generic names, so you have to talk to everyone to find them, but you need to also talk to all the generic old women, and offer them food to get their Fables - adds subject entries to your journal. There is one who specifically wants pork, she gives you something somewhat important. And don't forget the drinking contests, you usually get a special prize for winning each of those, one hour of meditaton will 'sleep off' the drunk effects.

Re: "The Girl":

I have searched for this girl and searched for her, and I simply cannot find here. Is there a specific time during the storyline / quest progression that one is supposed to do this?

Got into Chapter 2 but reloaded Ch 1 when I realized I had missed to Collectible Chick Cards.
