As the men cleaned the house, the woman in Kansas hugged tightly at the train station. Rebecca was both nervous and scared. Outwardly, she showed excitement and those were her true feelings, but would they stay the same when she arrived in Arkansas?

At that moment it was as if Arkansas was a foreign country to her, so far away and filled with the unknown.

After the first day traveling by train, Rebecca had never been more nervous. She arrived in Texas in the middle of the night, got her luggage off of the train, and waited with her medicine bag on her lap until early the next morning when the next train arrived.

She rode the next train all day before finally arriving at layover that kept her stuck in Mississippi for six hours, before finally bringing her to her destination. She was sure by the time that she arrived in Arkansas at eleven o’clock at night, Frank would be nowhere in sight, and she wouldn’t blame him.

To her surprise he was there, waiting for her. He was inside of his buggy stretched out relaxing. When he heard the train breaks screeching to a stop, he sat straight up rubbing the sleep from his eyes. When he realized that his hopefully soon to be bride had arrived, he jumped up.

He sat up and rushed out to the exit of the train station where she would be leaving. He didn’t recognize her right away, but then again she wasn’t anything that he was expecting. He watched the people getting off the train, which was only three men, a Navajo Indian woman, and then a white couple.

There must be some mistake, where was Rebecca? he thought.

“Hello? You must be Frank, correct,” he heard a female voice. How had he missed her? When he turned around, he was shocked to see the Navajo woman staring at him. Now he knew there had to be some mistake. He would never have been able to get along with a Navajo woman.

There’s no way this was the woman who had written all of those amazing letters to him. There would really be no way he could live with this woman. He tried to hide his feelings and put a smile on his face, but suddenly he was angry at David and wished she would go and live with him and let him go back to his dark smoke-filled house.

“I’m not what you expected? I’m sorry, if you’d rather, I can stay here and take the next train that is going to take me back to Kansas.” She had seen the look on his face. What look did she see that made her say that to him; fear, shock, or horror?

He was feeling all of those, but she didn’t think that her looks were that obvious. “No, don’t you be silly. Come on Rebecca, my buggy is over here this way.” He guided her to his buggy. She came with him, but she now carried with her more than luggage.
