before them; church was full with People of Dencastle and some Landlords except eight girls of her group who were waiting outside of church for her with very sad faces. As she arrived at them Dolly quickly hugged her crying…
“I’m very sorry Linda for what I have done with you always, now you gonna leave us forever, I never thought before this, please forgive me, please heartily forgive me, I m extremely sorry”,
it made everyone cry, none of them could utter a words, their throats were chocked up due to heaviness of heart, their heart were full up with emotions, first time they were feeling bitter experience of leaving some one, small village Dencastle was going to leave his first girl who was younger than all in her group. It was first marriage in Dencastle which had made each people of Dencastle happy and emotional. Mrs. Vicar came to them warning about prayer time and they all hurried the church and joined the prayer.
Everything was ready. There was no lunch in church today for children, because people of entire village are going to have lunch together at street. It was arranged by Vicar who always helped people in time of need. He made all arrangement for Linda’s wedding so Linda’s mother was too happy. She was always afraid of her marriage because she had nothing to give her daughter and for welcome the groom’s people. Her husband drank a lot. He never gave any extra money to her, so many times they had to spend day hungry but problem was ended after arrangement of lunch by church. All of her girls had lunch at church.
Mariana group was sitting together around Linda, outside her home, very happy with face but very sad with heart. Dolly, who never cared of speaking anything to anyone, was very silent today, her mouth was stuck and her eyes were dropping tears because she was extremely sorry for what she had done with Linda since childhood. Each girl of her group was laughing at her.
“Potatoes are boiled completely” announced Mariana’s father.
“Put the fire out, leaving some coal burning so that it will be hot while eating” spook Lame Gordon, sitting under the tree with all men, who were not busy in cooking.
“Hungry fella, you always find free food fresh, testy and hot” dolly’s father taunted.
“Hey goose, I’m not hungry, I m always full with the grace of Holy God, you looks dropping water from your mouth with smell of roasting meat” he retorted hitting his long stick.
“Don’t fight at my daughter’s wedding bloody rascals, be respectful today and honor my guest they are from Nottingham” warned Mr. Bork boastfully as if he was organizing big wedding of his daughter.
“Hey don’t try to be land lord, drunken gypsy” told a quarrelsome lady of Dencastle who was Lucy’s mother and there started fight.
“I, m going to throw all foods in well, I won’t let anyone eat” shouted Mariana’s father arriving there with burning pole of a meter long.
All aged woman jumped to make their man silent, all girls stood up whispering angrily, both hot young men of Dencastle Mike and Jorge advanced to Mariana’s granny who was sitting at her doorstep along with old lady of her neighbor.
“Hey granny it’s your duty to blow the fight out, it’s impossible without you, come on, granny come on” both excited her and she was stood up proudly and walked to crowd under the tree, old lady also followed her.
“If you all rascals will fight like this then no girls of Dencastle will get married and groom will run away without bride am I not right Mrs. Lee?” She warned all aged people fighting under the tree like a queen commanding assembly and turned her face to Mrs. Lee the old lady of her neighbor proudly to know he was right or wrong.
Mrs. Lee took it seriously because Mariana’s granny asked her so he felt more proudly than her and ordered assembly under tree like queen of queens.
“Stay each one in good manner, respect all people who are coming as guest to our village from a big city Nottingham, it will increase our fame, our status we are good Christian people of Dencaste”
There was silence for a while; all aged people started looking at each other shaking their heads in affirmation. Mariana’s granny got jealous with Mrs. Lee, making her face, looking at her, she was going to speech but Mr. and Mrs. Vicar appeared.
“Is everything ok? It’s going to mid day and I hope they will be here in no time” Vicar said.
“Yes Vicar, Potatoes and eggs are boiled, and meat also will be ready soon” answered Mariana’s father pointing to a big pieces of lamb meat hanging on three big poles, attaching from top over flame of fire. Vicar checked everything and took place on beautiful rug which was specially spread for him, all man also sat around him and he started to say them story of God because it was golden chance to preach men and women of Dencastle
