***Farm Girl In The 1920s*** Lets take a trip back in time to the 1920s to a typical farm in Minnesota. You are a farm girl, working, going to school, and thriving on a farm. No running water. Hard work. All the girls wear dresses. It would be scandalous not to!

Hetty:*hears Susan's footsteps, and quickly hides the can, and settles the rug back over the loose board*Yeah, Susan, you can come in. Its your house, too.*after Susan's done speaking, Heather smiles, and wipes away her tears*I already have some money, but not nearly enough to buy Chocolate back. We could buy her together. Then, if Papa ends up selling Queenie, we'll still have Chocolate to share, and Papa can't sell her because she would belong to us. Thank you so much Susan.*encloses her sister in a tight hug.*I'm sorry I've been acting so sulky lately, and I'll try to be more cheerful.	Danielle Rose & Dandy

Susan: Great Hetty! This is wonderful, isn't it! I just want to go jumping everywhere all over the room! *giggles*	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Just jump in like you've been here all along. We just found a way to keep my horse and Buy back Heather's, because we don't have enough money to buy seeds for next year's crop (that is why we were going to have to sell them). School is starting tomorrow. I'll be Miss Florence Alice Porter, the teacher. They have to walk or ride to the schoolhouse, four miles off.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

There should be a boy in the family, shouldn't there? I can be that boy. Hetty:*concentrates on her homework, and after about a half hour, she has finished Math, History(her favorite subject), Geography, and Chemistry.*One subject to go.*settles down to do her English on her top bunk bed, and finishes in no time.*Done! Record time, too.*jumps down, and trips over Max.*Oh, Max, I'm sorry. You forgive me?*Max rolls over onto his back, and groans in pleasure when Hetty scratches the flea-bitten belly.*Good boy.*bumps into Kat on her way down the hall.*Sorry, Kat. Do you want to go play on the tube horse with me?	Danielle Rose & Dandy

No there are just girls, much to our daddy's distress. That means we need to work in the fields too!	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Sue: Oh Yikes Kat! You need to do something with that! I'm going to get Mama! (Wait, did you just t=get that today, or a long time ago?)	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Hetty:*runs her hardest, and catches up in time to tie*I probably WOULD have won if not for your head start.*leans on a tree, while watching Kat(pronounced Kate?) roll down her sock, and gasps at the sight of the long, deep, wide gash*Susan's right, you should go to Mama, Kat.	Danielle Rose & Dandy

Susan: Well! If you don't want Mama to know, she wont have to, but You can't leave it just like that! *runs to the horse and gets some bandages and a bucket of soapy water and a towel.* Now sit down Kat. Or Else. *I wash Kat's foot in warm soapy water and dry it off. Then I wrap is well in bandages and put a sock of Papa's over it so it will fit.* There. Mama need never know. (RM: and it's only girls in the family)	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising
