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.
