A Short Story

I walk into the Moore’s house, and go upstairs. I see Alice on the bed, and tell her. “Hey, I did it with Alec. Oh, and I also told him I loved him, and he said it back. I think I wanna marry him.” “Ok slow down there Anna.” “I know, I’m sorry its just the happiest I’ve felt since what happened.” I know, and that's fantastic lets just not ask him to marry you yet.” “Yea, I know. I should probably get some less revealing clothes on.” “Yea, I’ll be downstairs.” She tells me.

When she enters the bedroom, her voice changes from present to past tense and she starts to reminisce and begins to talk about her mother and aunts. She seems happy to remember her mother’s room and introduces her aunts to the audiences. Mary delivers her dialogue saying that the dressing table and the small elephant statue figures are all same. When Mary gently touches her mother’s photo, she delivers a sad tone. Her performance conveys to the audiences that she misses her mother. The tone of her voice represents that she is a gentle, innocent and a loving child. Her verbal and non-verbal interactions conveyed the viewers with a message that she is an orphan.

Being ill, she was unable to do much. Although, she did make a fellow friend who was ill because of the sanitarium. Her name was Agatha Holloway. She was soon to be engaged, had a job, and what seemed like a good life, until the illness hit her. Agatha asked Mary questions on marriage, which Mary replied with uncertainty. Being a young mother, she lacked experience. Her kind heart gave her the best answer she could, though.

She picked up the phone and tried her best to put a smile in her voice. “Hello, Mrs. Selfwill. What can I do for you?”

William had fault as for marrying Clairmont and disregarding all care for his two daughters. He was so blinded by having her as a companion after so many years of his wife’s death. He left his studies and left the possession of demand in the household to Clairmont. Mary’s tensions with her step mother’s actions were so great that in result she was sent to William Bexter an aquaintence of Mr. Godwin, who lived in Scotland, for care. Mr. Gowin said, “proposing that mary board with his family for several months.”

Nodding his head toward Michelle, Judge Hunter said, “Please read the letter.” Opening the envelope, looking at the letter, Michelle faced the jury and began to read. “To Whom It May Concern: Writing this letter breaks my heart. Although, I felt it was necessary to do so, in the event of an unexplainable accident. Recently, I learned my daughter, was having an extramarital affair, and approached her, before talking to her husband. At first, she denied it, then threatened me if I told anyone about it because she needed both men to complete her life ─ Jerry for financial and Frank for physical and emotional needs. Boasting, she said it had been going on for years, and no one knew about it. Heartbroken, I pleaded with her to terminate it. She refused and swore, if I caused trouble, she would put me in my grave.

Luka looked up at me. "Of course Aria, just give me a moment to finish this up." He told me.

When Mary was 6, her mother died. Her father remarried so they had a higher status in society. She had a happy childhood, but she thought she didn’t have very many friends. Mary thought that her childhood was kind of empty.

“Before I end this I want to say there was one person in my life who never expected a thing from me in return for their friendship. Sally, my neighbor was always there for me, but was never meddlesome or tried to kiss up to me in any way, even though she knew about my wealth. Sally gets two million dollars to do with as she pleases and ask her to personally assist the shelter and hospital in any way possible,” Mary said.

“You are the last ones to get here. The others are already in their rooms.“ Said Joseph as he let them to the desk. “ mr. Neil is looking forward to working with you again Mrs. Elizabeth.“ He stepped behind the desk, and handed Elizabeth the registration book. “Please sign in while I get your keys.“

“Can you give me the address of where I used to live, and a picture of my birth-parents? Please.” Lou said in a soft voice like she was about to break into tears.

On a picturesque day, the royal trumpets blare, proclaiming the arrival of the betrothed Scottish queen to their beloved French prince. The clanging of royal carriages and horses’ hooves beat the ground as they pull into the entrance of the castle. Everyone inside begins to scurry with excitement as they ready themselves to welcome the anticipated arrival of Mary Queen of Scotts. Servants align the walkway to receive the royal French family, Mary, and her Ladies, finally, she makes her grand entrance. As they wait for the royal family the ladies gossip, talk about finding husbands, and poke fun at one of the girls who said her beau was waiting for her to return to Scotland. The moment has finally arrived, the two young royals reunite for the first time since childhood, their eyes lock and an awkward conversation begins the journey of their love story.

I paused several seconds to be sure. “I can’t believe it!” I exclaimed. “There’s no pain whatsoever, and it’s not numb, either. You’re pretty good. What did you say your name was?”

Brian waited until Leonardo disappeared before beginning his tirade. “What the fuck was that all about? What is happening tomorrow?” “He invited me to his vineyard and since you are so busy with business, I accepted his invitation.” “You should have asked me first. We are in a relationship. You should not be spending time with another man.” “And I guess you thought spending an afternoon with Ms. Bimbo was OK. You are a real piece of work. You know that?” I said slowly.

Sally stopped at the door to Mary’s bedroom. With a breakfast tray in her hands, Sally carefully opened the door and set the breakfast on Maria’s table. When Maria woke up, Sally got her ready. This was Sally’s daily routine, even in Monticello, Virginia. Sally Hemings was one of Maria’s favorites. Sally had always taken great care of Maria and together, they had a strong bond.
