Treasured Independence - Snippet for #WeWriWa from my Medieval Romance

I can’t believe it’s already June! What are your plans for the Summer?

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work. Enjoy!

I am continuing snippets from my new medieval romance set in fourteenth century England in and around my hometown of Reading.
My heroine Audrey and her cousin Margaret have taken a pilgrimage to Glastonbury Abbey. They have left the Abbey and are walking back to the hostel (an inn for pilgrims). Audrey stops to give a coin to an old beggar woman accompanied by a young girl. 


You can read last week’s snippet here – https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2019/05/briddas-blessing-snippet-from-medieval.html I’ve skipped a couple of lines. Please excuse my minor misuse of punctuation.

     With the stable yard in sight, my timid cousin felt safer. She smiled at me, asking, “Do you ever wish for another child?”      Tears filled my eyes, threatening to trickle down my cheeks. Surreptitiously, I wiped my knuckles over the corners of my eyes. “Oh Margaret,” I said, “children are both joy and sorrow in my experience. If I had another child, I would dread losing them.”      “You’ll need a new husband first. Have you thought of making a second marriage?”       Amused by her down-to-earth question, I assured her, “I’m happy with my life as a widow.” In truth, I treasured my independence and had no desire to submit to a husband’s will.
