“Yes, I have, Mr. Snobby Darcy.” Exasperated, Elizabeth determined to be patient. This was too important a subject to allow it to degenerate into a battle. “When I was younger, my mother constantly complained to my father that we didn’t have enough money to buy what we wanted. She was right. There never seemed to be enough. My father had no more hours in the week to pick up extra work and no inclination to do so anyway. So, they decided, as a team, that the best they could do for their girls was to do things together rather than to have things that would wear out or break. On weekends, when we were out of school and Dad finished grading his student’s papers, we packed a picnic lunch, filled the tank with gas, and explored every hiking trail and waterfall in our area. Jane loved the smells of the forest and the wildflowers on the sides of the paths. Mary was given a book on geology and started a rock collection she still has. Kitty and Lydia drew pictures of the places we went. My Mom enjoyed laying on the blanket, resting while she soaked up the sun. My Dad loved getting away.”
