Jeremiah Was A Bull Frog - Part Two
Jeremiah Was A Bull Frog
by sloanranger
Part Two
Abigail had been next, widowed after her husband Hezekiah died from an unforeseen fall. His horse had shied after encountering a snake. Not two months later Jeremiah sent word that he would call on her.
Abbey had been terrified. Rumors abounded that Jeremiah intended to ask her hand in marriage but that did not assuage her fear.
"It's sure that Jeremiah'll be wanting marriage, Abbey." Felicity told her. Abigail had been a comely woman in her first youth and was by no means unattractive, even after thirty-eight winters.
Felicity had tried to comfort her. "You are far prettier than Margaret Baywood or Chastity Cooper and they both in their prime," Felicity had assured her.
But it was the same; Jeremiah Smith wanted only Abbey's house and land and offered next to nothing for it. Now, he was calling on Felicity.
(To be continued).
