Lilly said:
"Having seen the suffering
caused to a mother by having her

that it is more cruel than medieval
torture. / don't care how bad a
woman may be, we are ourselves no

It was all right with me, so I fixed it with the boss to get off for week and all, and pa he was coming down the day before they was going to pull off the wedding.
