Nothing more was said for the next couple of days. Morgalla started each morning bringing in firewood and helping Dottie however she could. She learned a lot…even how to cook eggs and various meats. As night approached, Morgalla, still in disguise, looked out over the surrounding hills and mountains, bathed in glorious light in different shades of orange. Dottie approached. Morgalla noticed she had dressed in her best outfit.

“Dear, you’re not going?”

“Going where?”

“Why, the celebration, of course. I thought I told you. Why do you think I’ve been doing all that baking?”

Dottie pointed. Then it hit Morgalla why she had baked ten pies.

“Oh,” Morgalla said. “I thought maybe you were preparing for winter or something.”

Dottie laughed. “Come, it will be a good time.”

Morgalla pondered a moment. “Um…well maybe…”

Dottie had mentioned a celebration of some sort, but with much on her mind, Morgalla had forgotten.

“It will be a big party. You can wear your new clothes.”

Morgalla hesitated a moment. “I don’t know…”

Dottie gave her a slight nudge. “They’ll have lots of food.”

Morgalla tapped her chin. “I sure could go for that.” She checked her cloak, which technically new, had seen better days. Already it was tattered with mud stains. “I don’t know if I can show up in this…”

Dottie smiled. She had a solution. The elderly woman hobbled to the closet and rummaged through some clothing. Morgalla watched over the woman’s shoulder and noted that a lot of the clothes were men’s and had dust on them. Dottie reached for something and pulled it out, handing it to Morgalla.

“This belonged to a much younger woman.”

Morgalla didn’t ask but accepted it. She slipped out of her cloak and replaced it with the new item: a dagged hood made of worn, brown leather. Morgalla pulled it over her head and checked in the mirror. She tied her raspberry hair back into a tail.

Morgalla smiled. “I promise I won’t mess it up.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Dottie said and patted Morgalla’s shoulder.
