– and danger in the streets

Episode 37

   Mary was disappointed when she saw Joseph leave the room.  She had witnessed Rosetta departing earlier and was hoping that she would have had a chance to talk to him alone, but when she realised that she had missed her chance she shrugged her shoulders and resigned herself to obtaining a better chance to be alone with him tomorrow at the farm.       

   However, regardless of her disappointment, Mary was not in a great rush to leave her new friends who sat with her, sipping on their drinks and enjoying each other’s company.    Although her initial reaction to the group at the table had turned hostile at Peter James arrival, the night’s conversations had whet her appetite for adventure and now she found herself chomping at the bit for more.  Considering what she had seen, what had happened to her over the day, and now the stories she was hearing, Mary could not but believe that she was involved in something that threatened to blow her mind forever.  And now … and now, Peter’s vivid description of the creature left her shaking with both fear and excitement.
