    Woven ~ Chapter 1

    “I will study my cards even more closely.”

    “Good.  When you have found Tina’s mate and they marry, Aloysius and Hannah can marry.”

    Alice had feared that response, but she had some harsh truths for the Kennards.

    “Friend John, Friend Marie, it may take some time for the fates to reveal Tina’s future. Aloysius’ parents want him for another, a member of another prominent family.  Winter is coming and it will be hard to travel.  That girl lives in town, very close to Aloysius and, well, young men have needs and those needs may not be able to wait until spring.”

    -0-

     

    Alice and the Kennards had continued their conversation for a while longer. She had then asked for their decision.

    “I must speak Hannah!” Marie excitedly told her husband.

    “You will not.  I will first speak to Tina.”

    John had then looked for his eldest daughter.  When he found her, she was brushing their horse’s mane. Even from a distance, the slump of her shoulders had told him that she was upset, which could only mean that she had heard the matchmaker. “He doesn’t need to be pretty.  He’s a work horse,” he teased.

    “He can be both.”

    They were silent for a few moments.

    “You should not have been listening at the door.”

    Tina looked away quickly, afraid to see her father’s disappointment. She waited for him to speak again.

    “But I know it was important to you.”

    Tina still looked away.

    Her father struggled with what to say next.  He decided to speak directly.  “Aloysius is a fool to not want you.”

    Tina shrugged.

    “Tell me if you want me to stop the match.  The first marriage is yours by right.”

    Tina shook her head.  “It is a good match.  It will bring honor to the family. And you will then have only four daughters without dowries.”

    John felt the sting of his daughter’s truthful words.

    Tina turned and faced her father.  “I have no feelings for him, but Hannah is in love.  She says that Aloysius confessed his love for her after church a fortnight ago.  I will not let my pride stop her happiness.”

    John placed his hands on his favorite daughter’s shoulders and she moved into his arms. He held her as she wept her disappointment.  When she was finished, she told her father, “That is the last I will cry about this and I will not be pitied.”

    1. 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.)

    2. 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.

    3. Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh you’re back with a story that has “Chapter 1” in the title… meaning there’ll be a chapter 2… and possibly tons of further chapters… yayyyyyyyyyyyy :-))))))) Okay, now I’ll start reading… So happy to see you back, Spumoni!

    4. 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
