Once the tea and cake had been finished, the girls left her to get on with their own chores. Jo hung around after the others to hug her sister. Isabelle smile; the sacrifice had been worth the look on her sisters face.

Finally she was able to sit back in her chair and relax for a while. It would be several hours before her father returned from the fields and needed his dinner.

The basket had been emptied, all bar the newspaper that now lay at the bottom. Isabelle had almost forgotten about it and pulled out the paper; it could be used to light the evening fire if nothing else.

Out of curiosity she turned the pages until she came to a page headed 'Matrimony'

Several columns were laid out in neat lines and each one contained the details of several lonely men looking for a wife. Often the details appeared vague and as she read through them she smiled to herself thinking of Sarah married to her fat and balding rich man. She was about to stop reading when one advert caught her eye.

'Wealthy rancher- 50 seeks young wife out East. Preference for fair hair and blue eyes. Must be under the age of 20, slim and attractive. Please write stating age and description with a copy of likeness where possible'

Isabelle smiled to herself. The author certainly knew what he wanted and she fitted the description perfectly. Throwing the paper into the basket next to the fire she laughed at her own folly; he was far too old and things weren't that desperate just yet.

However the thought would not leave her and it stirred all day in the back of her mind. If she did marry a wealthy man then surely there would be money for the girls; dresses and shoes for Jo and books for Rebecca and the thousand and one other things they all needed. She watched her father carefully over dinner. He was tired and pale and had aged over the last 5 years. What if anything were to happen to him; what would they all do then and how would they live?

All night she tossed and turned thinking about the advert and her friends words. She prayed to God for an answer and vowed that if the newspaper was still in one piece in the morning and had not been used by her father to make the fire, then she would reply to the advert. It would be the ultimate sacrifice for her family.

She overslept the next morning and by the time she walked into the kitchen the fire had been burning for several hours. Isabelle didn't know if she was relieved or disappointed and stepped over to warm herself by the fire. Glancing into the basket she could see that the majority of the paper had already been used and only a few sheets remained. Picking up the paper she scanned the first side and then the second. The page was now smeared with dirt but the columns headed ’Matrimony’ were still clearly legible.
