      This is a work of fiction. All characters, events, and places are of the author’s imagination and not to be confused with fact. Any resemblance to living persons or events is merely coincidence.

      Chapter One

      Bronwyn was so excited as she and her maids trudged down the rutted dirt track, she almost felt as if she was floating, expanding and rising like fermenting yeast bread so that she bobbed along the road, buoyed upward by the gusty, fall breezes. Her happiness made her feel light despite the uncomfortable warmth of the day and the long walk in shoes that had never done this much walking, as if she might suddenly take flight with the very next heavy breeze and soar away. Her heart pounded with sheer delight.

      She was going to the fair!

      She’d only been twice in her entire life and the last time had been two autumns ago, when she’d still been a mere child. Now she was all grown up and her father had even given her a few pennies to spend!

      She thought it wasn’t merely excitement at getting to go to the fair, though. It seemed everything about her life was about to change. Her father had told her she was old enough to marry and have babes of her own—past the first blush, in point of fact, because she was his only child and he had been reluctant to let her go when he should have.

      In all honesty, it was not entirely his fault. She’d been in no great hurry to let go of her childhood freedoms and had not pestered him to find a suitable husband. She was wise enough in the ways of the world to know that, once she left childhood behind and had children of her own, she would have to carry the burden of a husband’s demands, running a household, and minding children, and she would have very little time to herself. She was looking forward to it, she told herself, and yet she was also anxious to enjoy the last of the carefree days of her youth.

      If she went to the county fair next year, she thought, she would likely have a babe under her apron and a husband’s whims to contend with.

      She hoped her father would find her a husband who was as indulgent as he was, but she wasn’t convinced that was possible.

      She dismissed those wayward thoughts after a moment. She didn’t want to think about that now. She was determined to have a good time and let tomorrow take care of itself.

      Her excitement grew as they drew close enough to the fair that they could perceive the sights, sounds, and smells.

      Bronwyn’s stomach rumbled as the smell of meat pies reached her even though she’d broken her fast with hearty portions of bread and cheese so that she would not be tempted to spend her coins on food when there would be so many trinkets and fabrics to choose from.

      At the very least, she hoped to find a length of silk she could purchase to make a new over gown. She hoped for more, but she would not be disappointed in her trip if she could at least buy something new to wear!

      It was hard to ignore the rumble of her stomach in demand of food, though.

      Let us go to Papa’s stall first, she said to the maids who’d accompanied her. That way, she thought hopefully, she might convince him to buy her a meat pie and then she would still have her coins for other things!

      Are you only just now arriving? her indulgent Papa demanded the moment she suggested he give her coin to go get a meat pie for each of them.

      She felt her face reddening. I had my chores to take care of before I left, she pointed out.

      And overslept, I have no doubt! Papa said accusingly. Did you not break your fast?

      Bronwyn was tempted to lie. I did, but I was so excited I just could not eat much and now we have walked so far I feel faint with hunger.

      He looked disbelieving, but he grudgingly pulled out a half penny and
