Tommy had a way of taking the puns and proverbs John Patrick spoke and broadcasting them far and wide. And without much concern for the interest of his audience.

Her attention was caught by the shelves above the desk—dozens of books, wooden trains and toys, tools and metal parts of every description. And in the corner, sitting alone, a fat, bedraggled teddy bear with a single eye.
A breathtaking fusion of frontier grit, Celtic soul, and heartfelt redemption. Now in Print!

Sometimes his patience warred with his heart. How much time would they have together? How much before Annie succumbed to the tortuous headaches she suffered more & more frequently? He watched the stars on their slow journey & offered a prayer to the ancient gods.

His was the racial memory of oppression and cruelty, coupled with the loss of a father he’d never known. But hers was more acute―she’d lost not only her homeland, but her father, mother, brother, and almost all of her friends.
"Jake spoke up hesitantly. 'You gettin' married, Daniel?' 'Sure am. As soon as Annie's ready.' 'What's she waiting for?' Daniel tapped the ashes from his pipe into the fire before answering. 'Gran told me once that a woman's like a little bird -- she'll know when she's ready to build her nest. I can't tell you more than that; Annie's not ready, and I'm just going to wait until she is.'"

It had taken him years to find the words to describe her eyes―green and blue and gray at once, ringed around with deep navy―the color of the wild sea. Her eyes made him believe that she was fey.

As she strolled southward, nature’s sounds were overshadowed by another. She hesitated a moment, then slowly walked toward the disturbance to encounter a woman squatting on the bank, weeping as if her heart were broken.

"She yelled at Uncle Richard, too, and screamed that Molly Donovan was going to have ten grandchildren and she wasn’t ever going to have any. Then she said ‘and this filthy little tramp won’t even be able to give me a grand-niece or -nephew.’"
#whistpr #WTT #WomensFic #HistFic
Alicia would drift into sleep at odd moments during the day, jolting awake at noises that came through the open windows. Today, a strange sound wakened her: a thud followed by the jangle of metal.
Thud. Clang. Thud. The sounds continued across her porch.

“I cain’t… I don’…” Brian had no words to explain the chaos in his mind. “I feel like somebody else’s livin’ in my body. An’ I cain’t even control what they do.”

“I’ve always wanted to measure & cut & find things for somebody else.” And Carolyn told the family of the time she’d helped Jake to pick out a wedding present for Adam & Jesse, then added, “I’ve never felt more useful & admired in my life!”
#WIPSnips #WITC #WomensFic #HistFic
She stared at herself in her mother’s hand mirror―the Irish lace around her neck, the roses on her breast & shoulders, the puffy sleeves―her mouth dropped open at the sight of such elegance. At the beauty of her own huge green eyes as they sparkled with emotion.

He knew that, as part of the family, Jesse trusted him. But as a man, she did not. So as he’d helped in the canyon during the summer, he began to whistle in harmony as his brothers sang their way through their chores, to counteract the silence of his footsteps.

“Well?” she challenged.
“I’ve brought news from town.”
“About Russell? I didn’t think it was a neighborly visit.” Her voice, scented with the bluebells of Texas, bit out the words. “Are you going to say what you have to say? Or just sit on that horse all day?”

It became a game between them—Molly would see how quickly she could hide her shoeless feet under her skirts, often waiting until Peter was engrossed in conversation with another. She did not often win the challenge, but it was all the more fun for that.

"They were too young, & Willie so sick. I gave my brothers as much food as I could, & I ate after they were asleep, so they would not see. And they slowly starved.
“Pat saved my life, & he tried desperately to save my brothers. But it was too late for Willie.”

Brian’s face puckered into a frown. “I’m tryin’ to remember the las’ time I saw ’er. It’s gotta be years ago. Can that be right? She was such a li’l thing then―no bigger’n a whisper.”
#HistFic #WomensFic #WITC
"She’d learned not to expect anything from the future. Today was to be gotten through. Yesterday was gone and they’d survived it. Tomorrow was a dream―as far away, as unreachable as the evening star."

“He’ll die, won’t he?”
“Yes, my love,” he said as gently as he could. “Oh, Molly bawn, I’m so sorry.”
“Will it be soon?”
“I’m afraid so. I shall ask the priest to come in the morning.”
He felt her nod against his neck, then heard her fearful whisper, “And Johnny?”
