    Woven ~ Chapter 4

    Tina was embarrassed.  She was also very upset that she had offended, maybe even insulted, the other woman.  She averted her gaze and fidgeted.

    Bette was angry.  She had never condescended to any one.  It was known in the town that she treated everyone with respect.  She decided to join the rest of the party.  “I must pay my respects to the monsignor.  Enjoy the party.”

    Bette had just begun to turn when Tina spoke, “Don’t! I mean, I am sorry.  Sorry that I offended you.”

    Bette turned back and fully faced Tina.

    Tina began to shakily explain “I don’t know why I reacted that way.  I think, I think that, um, it’s being in this house with all of these guests,” Tina waved her arm down at her body, “dressed as I am,”  and then waved at Bette, “with everyone in such finery.  I have to stop my mouth from falling agape at the china and silver.  The furniture must have come from so very far away and is so polished.  I cannot even imagine where the carpets come from, but I am sure that no one ever walks across them with manure-caked shoes.”

    She looked at Bette while she took a breath, “and I know that everyone is looking down at us and feeling sorry for Aloysius’ parent, stuck with a farm girl as their daughter-in-law.  Everyone knows that they had arranged a different bride for him.”

    Bette was both offended and touched. She didn’t know which to express or how to convey both. Although Tina looked at her expectantly, it took Bette a few moments to collect her thoughts.  “Aloysius has loving parents who want him to be happy.  When he made clear that he wanted to marry your sister, they agreed.”

    “They had no…..”

    Annoyed, Bette raised her hand to stop Tina’s interruption.

    “Parents begin to create their hopes and expectations for their children before they are even born. In their minds they have formed images of their child’s future. That is as true for Aloysius’ parents as it is for yours. The proof of real love, though, is when they accept when their child wants a different path from the one they had planned. Aloysius’ parents truly love him and they will love your sister because she makes him happy.  In time, they may come to love her for herself.”  Bette paused for a moment.  “Every child should be blessed with such loving parents.”
