What shocked the Victorian MPs was girls wearing PANTS
(and not a lot besides) it was the effect on the morals of the boys
that they were most concerned about.
You know ... I will never understand the Victorians ...

Poor Barb and Pat.
A mine sounds awful.
They might get jobs doing the cooking or paperwork if Barb can behave herself. Can you do that Barb? For the sake of Pat?
Very good story, had us guessing to the end, not the ending I wanted, but so what, they were slaves, they had no choice.
Well, I'm a big softie. I prefer to think that the Sheriff's discussion with Charles is all a ruse. His "friend" shows up and buys Pat and Barb, and later that evening he turns them over to Sheriff John. John, tired of enforcing slavery takes them deep into the forested wilderness to join the army of escaped rebel slaves.May I ask what ending you wanted?

It takes some time, but he finally wins over Pat. The two of them decide to move on and find a place where they can start over.
Barb recovers from her ordeal and becomes a favourite of the boys and girls among the escaped slaves, but she never gets over her resentment of Charles and Sarah and the society that broke up her family and made her a slave. She becomes the rebel leader (as we all know) and begins a campaign of raids, vowing never to give slave-owners a moment's peace.
Hey. It could happen.
Great story, Windar and Barb!!
Great story Barb and Windar!
Very surprising ending, I never would have guessed Barb and Pat would end up working in a mine.

I must be Bat Girl and forgot.For some it is very normal. View attachment 422403 View attachment 422404
I wish we had the equipment to make it happen. Head hanging off the end of the bed is just not the same as a full upside down suspension.View attachment 422402 It does give one a fresh perspective ...
You know we always have the book covers but never the movie... I'm reworking a John Lennon song for the theme changing it from "Mind Games" to 'Mine Games'- 'Playing those mine games forever...' It's sort of catchy, no?
Or do you prefer 'Working in a Coal Mine'???
I was thinking of an older version of 'Working in a Coalmine' but my Devo album is now in the queue after I'm done with Bonnie Tyler on the turntable...Or would "Back on the Chain Gang" be more appropriate?
22. EPILOGUE
"The best thing you can do, son, is to send them away. It's the only way to save your marriage and get some of what you paid for them back. I have a good friend who owns a mine and he needs workers very badly. He'll give you a good price for them. The best thing you can do for yourself, Sarah and for me is to sell them to him. Will you do that?"
The last thing I remember before slipping into unconsciousness again was that Charles had agreed, declaring that the money sounded good and that the departure of Pat and me from the Plantation would certainly lessen the strain for him of having to live with Sarah's jealousies.
The two men shook hands and walked away.
yep. insecurity is a fact in this society. I noticed Charles prolongation of his loan and I had a faint sensation that one day barb and pat are slaves at another farm, and sarah and charles too. and the cruel (female) owner of that farm orders barb to cut off charles testicles (there are intriguing pics of a scene like this somewhere in this site), and torture sarah, perhaps by flaying her?
I feel the early tremors of a movement here .. an awakening ... a populist tidal wave ... the irresistible power of the Good Word according to Old Slave ... the crumbling of resistance ..."Ladies and Gentlemen
It’s a great honour to receive three trophy points from someone as respected and revered as windar.
I accept these points, not just for myself, but the team behind me: my mistress, who knows just where to aim the whip to inspire me; my cat, who knows just where to aim his claws to inspire me; and the ever present threat I might meet Dorothy on Dewsbury Road.
I intend to use these points to do good in the world: to spread the Good Word of crux to all the folk yet to experience it’s magic; to take the whip to those ignorant of it’s potent power; to use bondage and humiliation on those misguided enough not to believe.
I truly believe, that from these humble beginnings, these three points will multiply through the universe to bring joy and contentment to all receptive to their message."
And let you who arewithoutwith sin, drive the first nail!
