The Rose and the Honeysuckle — Chapter 2
‘But Rose
was too shy and too delicate to understand the hustle and bustle of the human
spirit and the goings and comings of so many people. She was destined to be a
quiet scholar or perhaps a gentle private artist. And Paul, why Paul was meant
to be a bard,’ thought Tina. He was already reading and writing poetry and
every time one of the minstrels came to town he would study all the new songs
and pick up an instrument to pluck with them. Tina’s father planned to send him
to a small minstrel school in the nearest city but Tina thought he would rise
to great status and be a bard.
Tina shook
her head and settled into her dinner. She was always being accused of
daydreaming too much. Her mother said that excessive thoughts of adventure had
seeped into her blood. She would lovingly tease her husband that all his traveling
had somehow ended up in a ball in Tina’s heart. He would grunt and purse his
lips and shake his head. But when he looked at his seventh child his eyes were
always filled with love and adoring pride. It was only when Tina would look
away or would be turned to help someone else that she felt in her father’s eyes
and look, a touch of sadness. Tina ate her mutton and kicked her elder brother
when he elbowed her for the bread.
“Tina, darling, I need you in the kitchen,”
said Tina’s mother as Tina glanced up and saw her mother swing the small wood
gate with her hips and balance two pitchers and ten plates in her hands. Tina
got up and wiped her greasy fingers on her apron. She gathered her dishes and
those of her brothers and walked to the kitchen, on the way she walked around a
number of turned chairs and over one pair of crossed legs and paused half way
so as not to step on the cat.
“Tina. I
need you to do something for me,” said her mother as she crossed the threshold.
