A Woman Named Damaris
“Besides hauling water, finding fuel for the fire, and helping with the meals and washing, she was put in charge of four children, including three girls who were independent and unruly. The youngest child, two-year-old Edgar, quickly changed from fighting her to clinging to her. Every move Damaris made he was either hanging on her or demanding to be carried. Damaris gathered sticks for the fire with Edgar hoisted on her left hip, hauled water from the stream with Edgar trailing on her skirts, co...oked the dinner over the fire with Edgar crying at her elbow. Damaris soon yearned for a few moments by herself—but they never came.
Even at night there was no escape, for she had to share the wagon—and her bed—with Edgar and his three sisters. Damaris felt as if she were smothering and often climbed from the wagon in the middle of the night to find a few quiet moments walking in the darkness, even though the captain had forbidden anyone to leave the wagons at night.
The oldest boy, younger than Damaris, was sullen and sober and far too tired at the end of each busy day to cause any problem for her.MoreLess
