The Mystery Of The Moonlight Murder (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
After all, it was her hard work—with churning assistance from John and Elmer sometimes—that made these butterselling trips even possible. She surveyed the work of the rest of the family, knowing this time she wouldn’t be a part of the action because of her leg. It was a disappointment, but that was life, wasn’t it? When they lived in Fort Carlton, she used to sell it in nearby Rosthern, a major trading town. Since moving to the Borden area, the Diefenbakers mainly did local trading and selling, but they preferred the butter market in farther-away Langham where Mary had more regular customers. The trip to Langham was about eleven miles but at least Mary could usually count on selling for a good price. All in all, the butter sales were a helpful source of additional income for the family. Sometimes the family used the butter for barter, such as with old Karl to trade for fresh water. And sometimes they traded butter in the stores when they wanted other foods, such as canned fruits and vegetables that were difficult to grow on the prairies.
