Heaven in a Wildflower
“When it was hot, the sun blazing down, she would sit beneath the shading arms of a leafy magnolia. When rains forced her inside the mausoleum, she didn’t mind, for there was no fear, only peace. Hours passed as she thought of the past, when times were happy. Sometimes overcome with loneliness and despair, she could not hold back the tears. Yet being there was preferable to being back at the house where, to avoid Claudia’s cruel nagging and the constant intrusion of the Yankees, she had to remai...n sequestered in her room.
Claudia had also forbidden any of the servants to walk with her on the grounds, much less go riding with her. Mammy Kesia was allowed only to bring her meal trays to her room.
Actually, Anjele was surprised that Claudia didn’t object to her daily treks to the cemetery, but so far, nothing had been said.
Using her grandfather’s walking stick to poke and prod her way along the path, Anjele would stay until she heard the bell clanging to signal the end of the work day.MoreLess
