CHAPTER NINETEEN
Suzie dreamt that she was bathing under the spring. The water was cool and refreshing as it ran down her body. The day was hot and the sun actually burned her skin. Looking around her, Suzie realized that there were several girls her age from the neighborhood, bathing alongside her. A few feet from them, she saw her brother and his cousin bathing in one of the small pools, laughing and horsing around. Going to a nearby rock, she retrieved a piece of soap and started vigorously washing her hair. All of a sudden, the foam turned slimy and her hair started knotting, making it difficult for her hands to push through the roots.
Turning towards one of the girls, she opened her mouth to ask for help, but no words came out. Frantically, she

Watching Sonia’s retreating back, Abigale sighed. She hated mingling with Sean’s half-sisters. They were arrogant and snide. Sonia was petite, with big breasts, which seemed always to be too small for her tops. Her face was flat, with a nose that was overly large for her face, but she had good skin and hair. She was a bit better off financially than some of the womenfolk. She had her children with an ‘Amigo’, a half-white, semi-retarded man who sold shoes. He did not reside in Larouse, but he took care of her and the children. She never let an opportunity escape to flaunt it. Chrisie on the other hand was all curves; big butt, nice smile, but she was the softer of the two. She also had the oval face, but her n

‘Bringo!’ Abigale exclaimed. ‘He has been sexually harassing Suzie. I am going to fix up his tail,’ she continued, rushing from the room. Sean blocked her path and replied, ‘No one is going anywhere until I have heard the full story.’‘Are you serious? I just told you the vyé nonm sal wanted to touch your daughter and this is how you react? Get out of my way,’ Abigale raged, but Sean held firm.

***The meeting went later than expected. Tonight there was a good turn out with all the persons on the committee present. The hall was about forty feet long and twenty feet wide and was more than half filled with residents. Most of the women were in dresses, head ties and long shirts to protect them against the cold night air. The children who had tagged along were bundled up in same apparel with hats and socks. The majority of the women were sitting, whereas some of the men opted to stand.Someone had brewed a big pot of coffee and started serving members of the committee. Accepting a steaming cup,

‘Peter, what you are doing all alone in the dark? The meeting is over, but if you want to mingle there’s refreshment and company inside.’ Sean could no longer see the boy’s features clearly, but Peter exhaled the smoke and replied, ‘That is really nice of you, Mr. Montgomery, but I am good. I just needed some fresh air and a smoke. That is all, I did not want to smoke among the older folks and the babies. You know how the ladies react to smoking.’‘Yea, I know,’ Sean responded.‘Well, I will catch you later. It was nice seeing you,’ Peter ut

Lydia barely acknowledged the funds in his hands but replied darkly, ‘Half was not the bargain we strike sweetheart. You should know father better than that. Why don’t you place that back into your pocket and when you have acquired all you can return it to him not me. How did I end up in the middle of you and Papa’s mess?’ she stated angrily, making her way to the tumbler for a second glass. ‘I did not ask to be part of this. No, no&hell

‘Ouch. What was that for?’ Suzie asked, rubbing the area on her leg where Lorain had pinched her.‘I had to get your attention somehow. As I was saying, Jerald met me by the river last week and told me he likes me. What do you think of him?’‘He is nice enough, I guess.’ ‘You guess?’ Lorain asked incredulously, ‘He is the best looking boy around.’ Lorain exclaimed.

‘Sure, thank you.’ Abigale smiled her gratitude at the young woman. She had a pretty face which was marred when she smiled because one of her front teeth was missing. Abigale decided against the beer and tried the punch. Maybe she would have a beer after she ate something. Bringing the glass to her lips, she closed her eyes and savored the cool liquid. It was heavenly-not too sweet, a bit tangy and hint of sourness after it hit the back of her throat. Opening her eyes, she realised that the young woman was watching her closely.‘It is good, huh? I know because my father prepared it. He makes de best punch ya know. I luv

‘Oh darn!’ He shouted the expletive, pushing the drink towards her as he dragged one hand to the front of his shirt and tried unsuccessfully to wipe off the excess liquid. Abigale smiled at him apologetically. ‘Sorry about your shirt. Use some pure lime juice. This will take care of the stain.’This section of the room was darker. Cigarette smoke was heavy in the air. Abigale could smell alcohol on the breath of a few people who were standing too close to her. Eight men were seated at a round table gambling; those standing behind them were jeering and cheering. ‘Thank y
