My son installed a wood-burning stove as a surprise for me while I was gone. And brought in plenty of firewood.

A lovely girl from Rome, Italy is staying a couple doors down from me. She is a part-time bank teller who is also a writer. <br />Her dream is to move away from Rome. I told her that I kinda thought living in Rome would be all romantic and cool. She said, "Yes, but you don't LIVE there!" <br /><br />This is an eye-opener for someone who has done very little traveling. <br /><br />This, of course, has nothing to do with Lena's blog--I just thought it was interesting:-)Serena Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-44056448807919401512011-10-21T23:21:39.565-07:002011-10-21T23:21:39.565-07:00Oh Charlotte--You're going to be in Chillicoth...Oh Charlotte--You're going to be in Chillicothe?

I ...So--you want to know what the note says, hmmmm? I don't think it will spoil it if I tell. <br /><br />The very formal note tells Katie that he will be at his cousin's all day. This is odd because he's never been thoughtful enough to tell her where he was going or when he would be back. Katie goes out to do her chores, and discovers the "accident" Harlan has sat up to kill her. Then she realizes that the note was merely part of the alibi he was setting up for himself--hoping someone would find it after she was gone. <br /><br />His day-long absence gives Katie the opportunity to flee north on Harlan's valiant old war horse, which Harlan had also abused. The last line in the chapter is my favorite in the entire novel. She's astride the horse and she reaches down a hand to little eight-year-old Ned, and says, "Let's ride, little brother."Serena Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-88851515485480526372011-10-21T12:46:26.476-07:002011-10-21T12:46:26.476-07:00Looks interesting!
