Several weeks went by before Hester and I heard from him; I guess they kept him pretty busy at Fort Benjamin Harrison. She had a maid named Lydia, a Prince Edward Islander, who was our cook and housekeeper for years and years. Well, yes, Mr. Brocklebank, clutching her murdered dandelions.
One night at Front Street, when Owen lay hi the other twin bed in my room, we were a long while falling asleep because-down the hall-Lydia had a cough. The walls of the room were festooned with hanging cartridge belts and an assortment of fatigues and unmatching parts of uniforms. e to say; perhaps that is never safe to say in regard to Hester, but I promise it is safe to say of me. In those days, we were allowed to bathe (with soap!) in the lake.
