Chapter Eleven

Samantha stayed in her room for another hour after Devlin left, telling herself she needed the time to bring her emotions under control. The truth of the matter was that she was half afraid to go downstairs and face Artie. Oh, she knew he wouldn't actually hurt her, but she wasn't sure she could handle the humiliation of submitting to the chastisement he felt she deserved, especially after Dev already spanked her. She was embarrassed enough for one day. Sam stalled as long as she could, brushing her hair, and pinning it up on top of her head in an effort to appear older, then she squared her shoulders and went downstairs. She didn't see anyone in the parlor, and the door to Artie's empty study was ajar. That left the kitchen.

To her surprise, Doris was nowhere in sight, but Artie was sitting at the table, calmly peeling a mound of potatoes. "Are you through pouting, Sammy?" he asked with a wink.

"I wasn't pouting," Sam said as she got a knife from the drawer. She carefully sat down at the table, wishing for a cushion on the seat, and started to help him with the task. "Actually," she admitted, "I think I was hiding from you."

Artie chuckled. "Hiding from me, were you? Why is that? Do you think I'm still going to paddle you?"

"The thought did cross my mind," Sam admitted, surprised to feel her cheeks color with embarrassment again. She certainly didn't want another spanking. Her poor bottom was still stinging, thanks to her fair skin.

"I am not a cruel man, Sammy. I'm sure Dev gave you enough to think about." He raised his eyes to look at her with genuine sympathy. "Was he very rough on you, honey?"

Sam bit her lower lip, not sure how to reply. It was too embarrassing to talk about.

"Now, Sammy, you can talk to me. I raised seven daughters, and I am aware that females react differently to punishment than boys do. If Dev was too rough with you, then you need to tell me, and I'll have a word with him."

"Devlin wasn't too rough with me," Sam replied truthfully.

"That's good, dear."

Sam finished peeling the potato in her hands, then said in a small voice, "Dev was very angry with me for the way I talked to you and Doris and I don't blame him. All I can say is that I am ashamed of myself. You have been nothing but kind to me since I got here, and all I have done is disrupt your lives. I am sorry," Sam sincerely apologized.

"Mother and I are happy to have you, Sammy," Artie told her, "But I won't let you upset her by threatening to leave every time we scold you for your behavior. That is not going to happen again, is it?" he asked.

"No, sir." Sam wasn't stupid.

"Very well." Artie seemed pleased by her answer.

"Where are Doris and Trudy?" Sam hoped to change the subject.

"Trudy is up in her room, sound asleep, and Mother is over at the Stewart's.
