Zane sighed as he approached the small shed. Opening the door, he saw some farm tools, the old cradle, and a bed frame. Looking at misty and looking around he said “well, here’s your home for now misty, not as luxurious as a palace, but cozy.” Situating the cradle and setting some blankets he laid her down, and started rocking her to make her fall asleep. Once she was, he got his bed ready. The frame was old and not stable, so he took off the legs of the frame and set it on the ground. Getting some extra pillows from a box in the shed, he set them on the ‘bed’ and just was about to go to bed when he heard a knock on the door. Curiously he said “come in,” and Martha came in with a bowl of vegetable soup, and with an explanation for why his father doesn’t appreciate him. “Before you were born, we were wanting a doe, but when you came, your father now feels like you are a disappointment to him. Which is why he is ashamed, if you will, that you brought the doe, which comes to my question: how did you find her, and why did you think of bringing her home?” “She was laying on the beach and I couldn’t see anyone close enough to see and care about her. And I simply thought what King Jupiter would do.”
Before Zane came home, John, Jack, and Phillip came home. They were upstairs practicing from today’s lesson, then they heard Zane fight with Blake. After Zane left, they just stood and thought of what just happened downstairs. ‘Who’s misty? Must you always be like this father.’ When Martha called them for supper, before going to the table, they asked what had happened. All that they could get from her was “I’ll tell you after supper.” After supper, when Blake went back to his chair, Martha explained what happened. What came to their minds after hearing this was ‘the shed? Who would leave their kit on the beach? Simply horrendous!’ Then Martha said “I’ll go to see him before I go to bed.” Then she stood up to take the dishes and clean up.
