Liz Marvin - Betty Crawford 03 - Too Long At the Fair
“Chapter 3 Outside of the mayhem of the crowd, the fair was going about its normal bustling business. The pickpockets hadn’t hit every fair attendee, and plenty of money was changing hands.
Betty and Clarise strolled arm in arm through the crowd enjoying the sights and sounds. There were a few large groups’ re-enactors that had clearly come to the fair together. Their uniforms made them easy to spot and both women found them fascinating but for different reasons. Betty thought the whole notion of dressing up was funny beyond words. Clarise examined their costumes with the critical eye of a stage director.
One group coming towards them was dressed like British soldiers from the Revolutionary War, complete with red coats, white leggings, tall Grenadier caps and antique rifles. “Oh my stars and garters.” Betty exclaimed. Clarise gave her a quick elbow to the ribs. “Their uniforms are very authentic. We could put on a production of Martha Bratton with that crowd.”
