He would knock gently on her door, enter without waiting for her re-ply, and light the fire in the fireplace before opening the drapes. She would raise herself up on her el-bows, smile warmly at him and wait for him to help her with her morning privy. There were times, later, during the day that he marveled at having such intimate knowledge of a woman’s body. He never dreamed…

The mansion taught me, even though our history didn’t carry a lot of technology like today's generation, people who were wealthy lived a rich lifestyle similar to today's society. The Rope's mansion had carried a big part in the women's history. The mansion is located on 318 Essex Street. The Ropes Mansion was built in 1727.

ENCOUNTER WITH DOROBO I absolutely love the feeling of being in the wild, with abundant wildlife and myriad of amazing birds, the amazing scenery of this unspoiled land. As the day gives way to the night a whole new adventure begins. It is after dinner here in the heart of the savannah. A time to share stories by the fire place at Wilderness Camp.

behind Phoebe and my mother’s that was about Gram and Gramps”(Creech,260). Knowing that this happens in Bybanks, we can probably infer that it could take Sal longer to make this assumption outside of Kentucky, as Sal would never see the wall near the fireplace. Lastly, Sal states that “ I still climb the sugar maple tree, and I have heard the singing tree sing. The sugar maple tree is my thinking place.
