CHAPTER 6

Angry Voices

When the children woke up the next morning, they dressed in their colonial costumes and then stopped at the bakery for muffins.

“Let’s go to the weaving shop today,” Violet said. “I’d like to learn how to spin thread and make cloth.” Violet enjoyed sewing and was very handy with a needle and thread.

Benny made a face. “I want to go see the horses again.”

“We did that yesterday,” Violet said.

“Yes, but —” Benny began.

“We don’t all have to stick together,” Henry pointed out.

“Maybe while Henry and Violet go to the weaving shop, we could visit the farmyard,” Jessie suggested.

“Okay!” said Benny eagerly.

So the children headed off in two different directions.

But when Henry and Violet reached the weaving shop, they were in for a surprise. Although everything else in the village was open and bustling with activity, the sign in the window of the weaving shop said “Closed.”

Henry and Violet saw a movement in the shop, so they peeked through the window. Linda was inside with a man they didn’t recognize. When Linda saw the children at the door, she opened it and let them in.

As soon as the children saw the look on Linda’s face, they knew something was wrong. Violet was just about to ask what, when Linda stepped back to let them enter the shop, and they saw for themselves. The shop was a mess! The spinning wheel and the loom had been tipped over and lay on the floor, and there were piles of thread and fabric everywhere.
