I heard my name and decided to listen "It is very improper if you ask me if you ask me" said one fat bitty "It is almost as if she likes it. you know her pa sold her for whiskey of all things!" said another woman.
"I bet she doesn't even have a room of her own" the store owner exclaimed
"Why Mildred don't say such things" said another woman with a floppy hat
"Or God will strike you down" said the first lady
I was so hurt my cheeks were flaming red I ran out of the store tears Almost blinding my seeing the stunned looks on the lady's faces. I stumbled and my barefoot kept going I heard laughter from all around me as I landed in the mud. Suddenly I felt a firm kind hand helping me up I looked to find a handsome young man that I had never met "Are you alright?" I realized just then that bunches of people were standing there Staring at me. I did what I always do I ran heading toward the road home but his voice stopping me "wait your basket!" I didn't want to face those people feeling so ashamed by my dwelling place and by my muddy state to my surprise he was the only one standing there.

Love story part 6
She stopped twirling "Good morning Than" she called back giving him that heart stopping smile.
"Will you go on a picnic with me today?" Nathan thinking about the basket he had asked the boarding matron to make up for him.
Martha laughed "well of course I will Than but only if you will let the sun come with."
" Well indeed the invite was to be for both of you." She came forward and took his arm as they headed to the boarding house to pick up the basket. They settled a blanket under a tree near a lake "I am guessing you want to hear the rest of my story Martha placed her bare feet under her as she sat down on the red and white blanket.
"Yes, I would if that is you are willing to tell me the rest."
"As I pointed the gun to the Joseph's head I said 'wake up you mangy dog' He sat and saw the gun fear came into his eyes. Being only thirteen I was tickled pink to think of a man being afraid of a girl my size. 'Listen to me listen good I'll stay here only if you pay me a wage to send home to feed my family.' of course he agreed to it there being a death in line if he didn't I made him write down the agreement and sign it after that things went smoothly. That year he made a small room off side of the cabin and he also built a bed for me. I did the cooking, cleaning, and all the other chores including the shopping. One morning in the late summer when I was almost fourteen I entered the store no one noticed as I slipped to the back to pick out fabric for a new apron.

love story part 5
following her she lead him to a small white house that had green shutters on the windows and a rocking chair on the porch a swing swinging in the breeze. He watched from behind a tree seeing her enter the house he heard voice cheerfully greeting her. Nathan crept to a window and peeked in he saw three children crowed close to Martha hanging on her skirts chatting about the days events.
Nathan was puzzled were those her kids or were those her brothers and sisters or was she living with the family? Confused he walked back to the boarding house but he had felt his heart being squeezed when he saw the children he didn't know why.
Nathan was up bright and early the next day only to find the boarding house already filled with the smells of frying bacon and baking biscuits. As soon as the breakfast was over Than was out the door he wanted to find Lily to hear the rest of the story. He found her in the same place as yesterday again she was dancing in the first warming rays of the sun "how beautiful she is" he said to himself as he approach her. Martha was wearing a pale blue dress that made her large, Innocent, sweet eyes stand out."Good morning Lily" Nathan called.

love story 4
Of course the hound stuck around as I scrubbed the clothes the water soon became so dirty I had to get another bucket to start over and as I washed the clothes I spread them over bushes to dry. A rumble in my stomach So I took myself to the kitchen and found corn meal made myself some johnny cake. I devised a plan to that would help out everyone. "You girl did good" Joseph gruffly said when he arrived back at the cabin with two rabbits. I then cleaned the rabbit's and made rabbit stew. That night to sleep I curled up in a blanket I had just washed. The next morning I gave the dog a hunk of the rabbit and Tied him up to a tree a long ways away from the cabin. Next I took the gun down from above the door were Joseph had stuck it. I went into his room.
Martha pulled away from Ian suddenly realizing how close they were she straightened up to her full height she simply walked away without saying another word. Nathan stuned by her actions also stood but he did not call her back he could tell by the slump in her shoulders that she was drained from all that had taken place. But Nathan Ian just had to know were she was going.

Love story part three
"Na she's too scrawny" Joseph said as he dropped my chin which he held in his grimy hand. "But man she will clean, and cook for you and of course you can keep her for quite sometime she'll make you a strong young wife" when he said that I stood shocked at the way this conversation conspiring before me was going. I started to run I ran without knowing were I was going then I tripped on a log trying with all I had in me to get away tears blurred my vision as I got up pa caught me taking hold of my ear he dragged me back to cabin."Think I will take her I like them with a little spunk but she is worth three jugs." Joseph declared taking a hold of my arm as he waved pa toward some jugs by the cabin. Pa gathered them up and rode off singing Oh Susanna stopping once in a while to take a swig of whiskey. The mans grip on my arm as he led me into the cabin was gentle but hurt because of the bruise. When I entered that cabin I just about became sick it was the worst place I have ever been in or hope to be in! The Stagnant smell of unwashed, clothes; plates; dog; and unwashed man, filled the air. The earthen floor was covered in chew tobacco I was told to to sleep on the it in front of the fire and if I moved an inch the dog would growl. Joseph made his way to a small room were his bed was I soon heard him snoring. looking at the floor in disgust I curled up on a chair and cried myself to sleep. I was up before the sun after starting the fire I picked up all the clothing and threw them out on the porch the dog watched me so closely that it made me nervous this is not were I wanted to be I had to make the best of it so I went to work I hauled four buckets of water heating them on the wood stove. I dumped the first bucket into a metal tub were I then stuck all the dirty dishes. One of the other bucket I soaked the clothes. After the dishes sat for a few minutes I proceeded to wash them Joseph hearing the noise came out of his room and watched me for a short time getting bored he took down his gun and went off into the woods.

love story part two!
Surprised by her own outcry she turned unable to stop the tears any longer. He reached out to her but she pushed him away "don't touch me."
"Please explain Lily."
"About a week after you went away my mother died I was left at the age of 12 to care for my four brothers and sisters and a drunken father. For about a year we had help from friends, neighbors, and relatives....but after a while it trailed off. I cooked, cleaned, hauled water, chopped wood, cleaned chicken coops, milked cows, gardened, and sewed. My younger brother who was 11 left school to work so we would have food on our table.
At the age of 14 he was sweeping out the bank when a robbery took place he was shot wounded the doctor bills piled up and I had no money for food." no a motion in her voice. Pa had no money to support his drinking habit sold everything we owned. One night he came home I had just put the youngin' to bed he was terribly drunk I was sitting in on the floor in front of the fire he saw me at once he demeaned I give him money but I had non to give. His face was fierce he grabbed my hair and pulled me around the table then slapped my face. "Your good for nothin' gal I'm getting rid of you at that he took my arm in a firm grip that bruised. dragging me to his horse he threw me on jumping on behind me he rode off as we rode he sang loud and off key. I tired to get away but his arm so was strong so tight" she rubbed her arm as if it was still bruised Martha sank her knees unable to keep the tears in check she felt so drained so weak. Nathan knelt down and put his arm around her back she leaned her wet cheek on his strong shoulder.
"He took me into the woods to an old brooken down cabin were he hollered with all his might 'Joseph McCorner are ye in thar?' a man, with one leg and a scare across his cheek and nose, came to the door 'Yah I'm here ya old fool what you want?' my pa replied 'I have an offer to make you take this wench off my hands for two jugs of your home brew. The old man hobbled out to look me over my father pushed me off the horse I landed witha thud on the cold, wet ground.
"Please explain Lily."
