    Woven ~ Chapter 4

    Bette waited for a response, barely keeping herself from tapping her foot.  She took quiet breaths.  She had never spoken to the girl before and did not want to frighten her with her own inexplicable eagerness.

    After another silence, Tina finally spoke “Father says that you paid for their celebration.”

    Now Bette paused.  The voice was just as she had remembered from the Kennard daughter’s visits to the mill with her father. “No one knows who has paid.”

    “Father is seldom wrong.  But if you did, thank you. I can see my cousins and our neighbors dancing.”

    “You would rather be out there with them than in here.”

    Tina thought for a moment, “No. This is a beautiful home. I have never seen such furniture and carpets.   The wood shines more brightly than I thought possible.  The mirrors catch the light and make it sparkle.  I’m glad to have seen it since I won’t see its like again.

    Bette tried to imagine what it would be like to see a house like this for the first time.  “Surely you will come to visit your sister?”

    Tina thought for a moment.  “Of course,” she replied happily.  “I will be in this beautiful house quite often.”  She smiled at Bette, “And I will sit on every chair and walk on every carpet!”

    “And drink from every tea cup?” Bette could not help but smile at the enthusiasm.

    “At least twice.”

    The two laughed softly for a moment until Tina remembered something.  “They have an entire wall filled with books,” Tina said, wonder in her voice.  “I have heard of such places.”

    “Yes, I have seen it.”  Bette struggled with what to say.  This conversation was unlike any she had ever had.  “Do you read?” Bette asked.

    Tina’s first reaction had been puzzlement, but it swiftly turned into a mixture of anger, offense, and humiliation.  “You think that all farm girls are illiterate!”

    Bette now was puzzled.  “I said no such thing.  Why would you think so?”

    “Is there another interpretation to ‘do you read’?”

    Bette’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment.  “There is.  ‘Can you read?’ is what you think I asked, but I asked ‘do you read?’  It is a different question.  I asked if you read for enjoyment.”
