Description
The young lovers sat close together on the bench as the chaperone stood nearby pretending to watch the deer laying under the trees. The couple whispered and giggled and made promises. He laid his bulls-head cane against him as he brushed his fingers over her hand.
Years passed and they often came here, now married and no chaperone needed. Her dresses expanded and shrank again as their family grew. He would lay his cane against his leg and gently touch her hand as they spoke
In time the children laughed and played around them as they sat and smiled and talked of his going to war.
One day she came alone and sat on the hard wood and sobbed. She sat awhile looking out across the golden grasses and remembered him, then stood, wiping her eyes and left
Once a year she then appeared alone and sat for an hour, saying hello to the people she now had to allow in to keep the hall and grounds in the family. They did not know her, nor she them. She was just a little old lady with an old fashioned bulls-head cane.
