I got up in the wagon and Papa set me beside Mama, all of us on the buckboard seat.
Hold her hand there, he said to me, like she likes. Sit tight in. Keep her still.
I saw him lean down and rope her ankle to his. I was warm because he made me wear my bonnet, to keep my skin fine and my eyes from crinkling at the corners. In case someday I turned out after all.
Talk to her, he said. Tell her she'll like it where she's going. A fine great place, like a castle with a tower clock. Tell her.
