Hi Maisie

coming into reading this completely cold, I had no idea what you might be writing about. First I thought it was going to be family history - and I was pleased to hear that - always great fun to read and write. But then it went...

Hi Bee

Your portray your fear and anxiety very well.

Beautifully written....

Hi Bee

As usual, a lovely poem, with all your talent on show. I like it when you tell a story, and even though it often ends in sadness, it is good to do the journey.

I suppose they felt that the married women would soon get pregnant and then want to leave in the middle of the term. No birth control in those days, and a typical family had at least 7 children with many up to 13 or so....
