Sister's Choice
“Mama exclaimed the moment Maggie came into view. “It’s time for supper.”
Maggie looked around. The quilt frames had been taken down, replaced by tables—well, actually boards set over sawhorses. They were covered with tablecloths and lined with benches Mama had borrowed from the school. The ladies had been joined by several men. There were at least thirty folks in the yard now. The men were standing in knots talking to one another. No doubt they had done the heavy work of removing the quilt fram...es and setting up the tables. The women were busy carrying out food and dishes and all that was needed for supper. No wonder no one had looked for Maggie. They hadn’t needed her labor—for a change.
Maggie also noted that the girls her age had been busy doing something else. They must have brought clothes to change into for dancing, because now they were dressed in pretty party frocks. All the girls, with the exception of Sarah Stoddard, were decked out in their finest. The husband hunting never seemed to end.MoreLess
