"Under a Renegade Flag" (Part One)

By achristop on Wed, 10 Jan 2007

UNDER A RENEGADE FLAG (Part One) June the 21st 1725 AD......My family were hungry...we had bread in a small amount, but very little else!!!...I had waited until nightfall to take my light, and my trusty bow, and venture into the woods to try and illegally bag a rabbit for the pot!! I left my beautiful wife Cassie and my 15 year old daughter Clarry (short for Clarissa) cutting up woodland roots to go into a stewing pot....We would have meat tonight, I could not see them go hungry, at least, not whilst there was game in the New Forest to be had!! Poaching, if you were caught, invited severe punishments...flogging, imprisonment....loss of a limb! I would gladly suffer these, sooner than see my daughter crying with hunger again!
