The Mistress Of Tall Acre (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Myrtilla and Molly, the Irish indenture, faced off, bickering yet again. Dismayed, Sophie mentally raced through her options. Perhaps Molly should be sent into the fields. Or returned to Ireland, if Seamus had his way. “Molly, you’re needed in the dairy.” Exasperation rising, Sophie forced a calm she wasn’t feeling. “Myrtilla, I’d like to speak with you next door.” Molly sauntered past, head high, while Myrtilla followed Sophie outside. A sudden burst of girlish laughter lightened the mood of the moment. Jenny and Lily Cate were playing French hoops on the side lawn, brandishing their wands as gracefully as they could as they tried to catch the flying circles. Sophie waved as she went by, wishing she could join them. In the privacy of the schoolhouse, its walls still smelling of fresh milk paint, Sophie faced Myrtilla. “What are you and Molly quarreling about today?” Myrtilla stood, dark arms akimbo.
