Christopher asked to see me home I of course accept we gazed at the stars all the way home. "well...the weeks past I was now 15 and was called a beauty of the woods whatever that means. One day Chris came to the house I was in the garden I stood up covered in dirt and holding a bunch of weeds. He laughed "What's so funny" I demanded this reminds me of the first time we met you looked beautiful then too. Embarrassed I hung my head and said I never have looked so bad in my life and you know it! he smiled and asked if I wanted to get cleaned up before we went on a walk. So I went into the house and cleaned up and when I came out I found him studying the ground in a thoughtful way.
What's on your mind Chris? he turn and said
"You" he handed me a gift and made me promise not to open it till we were in the valley our favorite place to walk. I was very excited this was the first gift I had gotten since my mama died two year before. When we got to the valley I opened it up and it was".....Martha's voice trailed off
"Oh Lily don't stop Please."
"Than I want to stop I am hungry" she said as she unpacked the food they ate in silence when they had both had their fill and all the leftovers packed back into the basket. Martha rose and ran toward the lake "Wait Lily are you doing?" Nathan stood. Martha made a big splash when she landed.

part 8
I had to go back for the basket I had begged for it when I first started shopping.
"Hi my name is Christopher Taylor I work at the bank as a teller my uncle owns it."
"My name is Martha Lily nice to make your acquaintance" I said shyly.
"May I walk you home?" he asked taking my basket and holding out his elbow for me to take.
bobbing my head I took his arm. We walked and talked for two hours I didn't tell him that we had went past the path to my house three times. I promised next time I saw him I would clean up a bit. He laughed and said "see you at the singing on Sunday night if not at Church Sunday Morning." I waved goodbye not telling him that I might not see him at either gathering. That night I girded up my courage and asked Joseph if I could go to the singing he looked at me up and down and said "What fer?"
"To visit with people my own age"
"No"
I jutted out my chin and said "Well then you can just eat slop till you say I can go for I am not fixing you grub worth eating!"
"Fine go he huffed into his grey beard. So Sunday rolled around I went to the creek and bathed got my best dress on and went to the singing we sang songs I hadn't sang since my mother died. I had fun there was a taffy pull I was so sticky.

Love Story Part 7
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.
