HOME AT LAST
It was a cloudy day when I arrived in the carriage.
I was supposed to meet my mothers friend who was very sick. It's not easy to travel three hundred miles in a wagon with two horses pulling you.In the 19th century that's how we used to navigate.
Well once we got to the small mansion I was surprised that my mother knew such rich people. I was sadden by my mother's death when it came sudden. She had told me about her friend and said to me you have to go see her so I started my journey. My mothers friend's name was Maria. Upon arrival she came out of her mansion with tears in her eye's.
