"I thought that your mother gave you new clothes. I expect you to wear them. Do you understand, Jacquelyn? I am going to speak to her and make sure that your male clothes are gone. I want all of you to go to sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day. Caroline, you will be helping Olivia. Noreene, you will be taking care of Bessie. Do not let them out of your sight.
Jacquelyn, you will stay with your mother in the morning and with the dancing teacher in the afternoon. I expect you to learn at least two dances and you will demonstrate them to me tomorrow night." Sean spoke sternly before he blew out the light and locked the door.

Jacquelyn can't dance. She was never light on her feet, and she knew it. She also knew that there was no weaseling out of it, seeing as everything she does must be proven. Hetuis, that Sean is strict. Unfortunately, there was nothing to do but go to sleep and hope that the dances were easy.

Bright and early in the morning, Bridget pounded on the door and called out
"Time to rise and shine, girls. Breakfast in 15 minutes."

Noreene stretched and looked over to Bessie who was getting up then to Caroline who also was getting up and lastly to Jacquelyn.

"It would be best if you get up and put on what ever skirt and blouse that you like. Add a little bit of color to it and get your hair comb out. You gotta make your bed too. Do your best in class so that Father will be a bit more lenient with you." Noreene spoke quickly as she dressed in more somber clothes than normal. She then made her bed as she kept an eye on Bessie who was moving quite slowly.

From under her bed, Noreene to out her sketchbook and pencil just in case Father wanted to see what she came up with for the wagons. She was also curious as to why they needed new wagons when the ones that they had was not broken down.

Jacquelyn slowly got up from the bed and yawned, rubbing her eyes. She then took out her new dress, and reluctantly slipped it on. She then sluggishly folded her sheets, trying to copy the way the other two girls did it. It looked nothing like their completed results. Then she stumbled out of the wagon into the glaring sun.

Viollca was standing outside and waiting for her new student.

"Let me see you girlie.... Not much to look at yet. You need some ribbons for your hair. A scarf to offset your plainest. A few bangles and maybe a necklace....." she spoke as she critique Jacquelyn.

"What else did Bridget give you? Have you even thought about running brush or comb through your hair properly? Stand up straight or do you have a physical defect?"

Naureene was attempting to get Bessie ready and finding things for Jacquelyn. She had somewhat short hair so she went with a scarf and took a pair of her own clips out of her box. She turned Bessie around and fastened her buttons. she sat her down and handed her a brush.

She looked at her old jewelry and took out several old bangles and a necklace. She put them on the bed for she knew that Viollca would soon be in.

Sura spent the morning absentmindedly cleaning his products. He was an odd sort of merchant, never having a specific product. He dealt in exotics, this forcing him to travel often. It's odd how the concept of exotic goods works, he thought. The south wants the north, the east wants the west, it seems they like all things but their own. He looked up at the sun and marked his calendar and clock. Don't the wandering caravans usually come through this time of year?

Viollca spoke to Jacquelyn sharply.
"Go inside and perhaps one of the others can loan you a few things until you get your own." she spoke.

"I put a few things on her bed but I am helping Bessie get ready for tomorrow is the double wedding." Noreene spoke quickly as she finished the bun on Bessie's head.

Jacquelyn walked back to the wagon and ducked her head in. "The teacher says I need a few props I don't currently have. You wouldn't happen to have a scarf, would you?"

"Yes, I put some of my stuff on your bed. Mother will need to get you what you need. Do you want to use my tambourine? It needs new ribbons but you can see if you have a good rhythm. Then maybe all you will have to do is the musical part. But smile and try your best." Noreene spoke as she finished Bessie's hair.

Jacquelyn trotted over to her own bed. On it was a faded pink scarf that looks like it's seen better days, and a few other things like bells and semiprecious jewels. She grabbed the scarf, and wrapped it thoroughly around her neck. She considered also putting the bells and things in her hair, but decided against it. They would probably be stuck there forever if she did, and pinning her hair always felt like it was being pulled. "Sure," Jacquelyn said to Noreene. "I wouldn't mind the tambourine. Anything to avoid tripping over my feet all day trying to dance."

Noreene looked over to Jacquelyn who did not know that the scarf went around her waist not the neck.

"Let me help you. The scarf goes around the waist like so.... Now for your hair... a bit dry" Noreene turn and pulled out a box. A spray bottle of Rose Oil was used on Jacquelyn's hair and it was thoroughly brushed.
"Now for the hair clips. Slide these bangles on your wrists and this necklace over your head...."
She tossed the bottle back in the box and pulled out an old tambourine.
"Tell Viollca that I said that I'd help you tonight if there is time. But right now, I need to get Bessie ready to meet her In-Laws-To-Be. I will be her Maid of Honer as well......." Noreene said as she gave the tambourine to her.

Jacquelyn looked at the old tambourine, and tried an experimental shake. It made a satisfying rattling noise. "Can I tag along to meet these in-laws?" she asked. She liked meeting new people. They almost always had full pockets and empty heads, and that was perfect for her.

"No you can not. You have dancing class today. Viollca would skin you alive if she caught you skipping class. Now go." Noreene spoke a bit harshly for she needed to get herself prettied up a tiny bit but not too much.

Jacquelyn ducked back outside. "Alright," she resigned to the dance teacher. "When do lessons start?"

"As soon as we get to where we will meet the other beginning girls. Now come along quickly." Viollca spoke as she turned and walked away.

For several hours, Viollca drilled the young girls in stretches, how to bend, sway like trees and lastly a few move steps. Then it was a break for lunch of cheese and bread with apples for dessert. The next three hours consisted of memorizing what was called The Beginner's Dance. it was also known as The Swaying Trees.

Meanwhile, Noreene was very bored with all of this marriage talk. What each bride should wear, the flowers, the vows and so on and so forth right down to the wedding feast and dancing. Noreene was too tired and grumpy because she had to write out what was needed for each bride because Caroline couldn't write well enough to keep up with the women folk. Tomorrow they would order the food and tell florist what to make. She had to tell Viollca what dances were wanted yet before supper.

The class was easy enough. The Swaying Trees didn't have many fast movements or foot actions, so there was less tripping, and that was good for Jacquelyn. At the end of practice, she could definitively say she learned something new, and will avoid trouble from her "Uncle" for the day.

Noreene ran to the area designated for dance students so that she could give Viollca the list and so she could walk Jacquelyn home. She needed to have someone to talk to and not get into trouble for complaining.

Jacquelyn saw Noreene run and give the teacher a list. The list seemed important. "Hi, what's up?" she asked Noreene.

"Just giving Viollca the list for the wedding dances. Come on, let's get home. I have a lot to do yet tonight." Noreene spoke quickly and hurried off with hopes that Jacquelyn would follow her example.

Jacquelyn jogged after her, wondering what all the rush was about. "What sort of things to do?" she asked.
