Thorns In Eden And The Everlasting Mountains - Plot & Excerpts
The season arrived with thick slate skies, the air brisk and breezy. Flocks of crows speckled the bare trees. Geese flew south and mallards found refuge in the grassy banks of creeks and rivers. Rebecah placed a fork on the table beside a pewter plate and thought how they would explain things to Adele if word came from Heinz the children were to come to him. Weeks had gone by, and she hoped he had decided to allow them to remain at Laurel Hill. But what if this was a forlorn hope? It would break her heart to lose them. They had already suffered the loss of their parents. How can he believe it best to add to their loss by taking them away from us? Being sent to a man Adele did not know, to a gloomy house, and then to a school for girls, would be a frightening prospect for one so young. And Gus, being only two, would not understand. How would Heinz care for him, love him? Hire a nursemaid to keep him quiet in an upstairs room until he was old enough to send away? Don’t let him take them from us, Lord.
