    Woven ~ Chapter 4

    Bette waited for Tina to speak.  Tina, though, was embarrassed,

    Bette saw her reaction and, having made her point, she relented, “Though sitting on an embroidered chair cushion is much preferable to plain wood.”

    When Bette smiled, Tina smiled back, recognizing that her unkind words had been forgiven.  

    Tina tilted her head towards the rest of the house.  “That wall filled with books will be completely wasted on my sister.  She has always hated to read.”  Tina confided as she glanced at Bette, “She says that Aloysius doesn’t mind at all.  He told her that he preferred a girl whose head wasn’t filled with poetry.”

    Bette had been wondering what the girl would think if she knew that Bette had an entire room set aside just for her books. 

    “And is your head filled with poetry?” Bette asked, shocking herself at her own tone.

    Tina laughed.  “As much as it could get filled from reading the few that were in a small book my father rented from the peddler just for me.”

    Bette now liked John Kennard even more.  “What do you usually read?”

    “Well, we have the New Testament and the Old Testament and a Lives of the Saints borrowed from the priest.  We also have a copy of Moll Flanders…”

    “Moll Flanders!?”

    “There isn’t much left to read after Father has marked the prohibited text.”

    Bette could not tell if she was being teased.  “What would you like to read?”

    Tina looked up for a moment.  “Um.  Poetry, I think.  And history.”

    “I have some of those.  I will send them to your house.”

    “Truly?”

    “A book should be read.”

    The two smiled at each other with a warmth unfamiliar to them both.

    Tina spoke first,  “I have never had such wonderful food.”  She giggled conspiratorially, “I even drank a glass of port.”

    Bette faux whispered “I drank one too.”

    “What is that?” Bette asked when she noticed something in the girl’s hand.

    Tina tried to hide it behind her back.

    “Don’t.  It was rude of me to have asked.”

    Tina paused for a few moments, embarrassed again.  She spoke as she returned her hands to her sides “I don’t show it to people, just my family.”

    “I did not mean to cause you discomfort.”

    “Oh no.  You didn’t. 

    “Good.”

    “It’s just a few sketches.  I’m just catching little things that I don’t want to forget.”  She pulled out the small piece of paper that she had hidden in a dress pocket.

    Bette moved closer to look at it.  “Those are very good.”

    Tina shrugged, “I will do a full sketch as my wedding present for Hannah.”

    “Hah!” Bette exclaimed.  “That’s it!”

    Tina took a quick step away as she looked at Bette with alarm.  “Are you ill?”

    “No.  That explains it.  You are Tina?”

    Tina nodded cautiously, uncertain of what had caused such a change.

    “I thought that my eyes were playing a trick on me because you seemed so like Tina when you turned to face me.”

    “They played no trick.  I am Tina.”

    “Yes, but some fools had told me that the bride was the most beautiful of the Kennard sisters, so I thought that the bride was you.”

    Tina blushed. “Hannah is the family beauty.”

    “She is not.”
