Woven ~ Chapter 1
She looked at the land that surrounded the sturdy, well-kept cottage. It was a good farm, prosperous, one that a man would be happy to leave to his son. Unhappily, though, the man had no son.
Alice did not need to signal her arrival because the door flew open as she approached.
“Friend Alice!” an excited Marie Kennard exclaimed. There was only one possible reason for the unexpected visit and Marie’s heart was beating in her chest.
“JOHN!” she called to her husband. “Friend Alice has come for a visit.”
John Kennard had been stacking wood in the lean-to at the back of the house. He had not stopped when he heard his wife’s voice. She could be excitable and he generally waited to see if she called a second time. However, the name of the visitor had drawn his attention and he quickly entered the house, wiping his hands on his trousers as he approached the guest.
“Friend Alice, we are honored by your visit to our home.”
“I am grateful for your hospitality, Friend John, Friend Marie,” Alice replied politely, following the informal terminology used by her hosts. She was a bit exasperated. Had it been a normal visit, she already would have been guided to the fire and offered some warm broth. Their surprise at her visit, though, had temporarily caused the Kennard parents to forget their manners.
Alice prompted, “It is a cold afternoon.”
The parents nodded.
“I had forgotten how far away your cottage is.”
Still, the parents watched her expectantly.
Alice tried again, “I feared it would snow.”
Stil, no response.
“I almost abandoned my journey to wait until spring.”
That statement jolted Marie, “Come, come to our fire. Sit,” she exclaimed as she pulled a char to the hearth. “John. Get more wood!”
Normally, John would have refused. He made certain that his family was free of the cold, but he was cautious with their wood supply and would have not have tolerated such extravagance.
“Of course,” he replied as he moved quickly to the back of the house to the wood pile.
When he returned he saw that Alice had a mug of warm liquid cupped in her hands. He added the new logs and some kindling and the fire soon blazed brighter, emitting an almost blistering heat.

Gosh, how will Bette enter this picture?! Will farmer John marry off his dowry-less-and-left-behind daughter to a WOMAN in desperation? Will Bette pretend to be a man and marry Tina to “save her honor”? Can that happen? (Yes, if it is a Spumoni story – and she can make you believe every word of it. I still think of Bette’s wolf-in-laws’ visit to Weho. How ARE they doing? Tina’s wolf father also loved her the best of all his children, just like farmer John.)
Love the beginning. Wondering how it will play out.
I *really* liked this! I love the set up and can’t wait to see how the story goes. Alice will find Tina a match yet! Thanks for the post, Spumoni. :)

Fantastic beginning and you always leave us wanting more. How are Bette, Tina, Angie and the wolf family? Thanks for bringing us another story.
Anew story from you is a really nice surprise.Thank you,great start.
Very interesting and can’t wait to see Bette enter the picture. Please post more, thanks!
I’m intrigued. Looking forward to more!
Great story. This should be very interesting to see how Bette will appear here. It sounds like this takes place in a very traditional time where two women being romantically involved is probably not even a concept. I can’t wait to see where you take this.

This is amazing. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. How will Tina’s parents take to their daughter marrying a woman?
Amazing writing as always! No matter the story. But this one is exceptionally interesting in it’s time frame!
OK… So where are we?!? I think I am lost in spumoni’s land of Ti… Bette?? Uhm so where’s Bette?? :-) so eager to read more! Thanks for this promising chapter / story. PPS
