10 Things Everybody Should Know About Me:
- 1. I’ve lived in Canterbury, England all my life but I like to dream I may leave one day and see the world before I must settle down. But I know that will never happen, for I am a peasant woman and most of us never leave were we are born. But it is most merry to dream of far away places in the stories I hear of.
- 2. I have one brother and sister. The trouble me some thing fears but I still love them dearly.
- 3. I like gentlemen a little to much, but Bowen always looks after my virtue. He has a nack for showing up just when it is getting good.
- 4. I do wish to get marred some day and not be a harlot all my life. But not any time soon!
- 5. I’m almost always with Bowen getting in to trouble. If not then I with Goldie, or Rose, or may hap even Amanda, they are my best of friends!
- 6. I love to dance with my friends, most of all the ones at the maypole. We are all ways together dancing.
- 7. I do wish that Sir William and I will be married some day. But I can not for I am a peasant. So I wish to never be married!
- 8. My brother Bowen and I are twins though we look nothing a like. And we are always arguing over who was first. The truth is I was the first to enter this world!
- 9. My mother puts bells on my skirts so she always knows where Bowen and I are. She dislikes it when the gypsy come to town, for she can not tell if it is my brother and I or the gypsy that she hears. So we are able to get away with a little more then usual!
- 10. I don’t want to grow up, for when I do I must get marred and the man I could be marred to may make stop dancing with my friends. For it is notproper a lady to dance like a child.
