CHARTER THREE=

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN(INCARTATION OF IMMORTALITY) -CHAPTER THREE=THUS AFTER THREE MONTHS OF PREPARATION THEY FOUND THEMSELVES ALONE IN A COTTAGE,WHICH WAS HIS INHERITANCE.IT WAS IN A GLADE NEAR A SWAMP-PLEASANT ENOUGH BY DAY FOR THOSE WHO LIKED THAT SORT OF THING,BUT SINISTER BY NIGHT.THAT WAS PERHAPS PART OF THE IDEA:A COUPLE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BOLTED INSIDE DURING DARKNESS,HUDDLED TOGETHER FOR WARMTH AND COMFORT.THERE WERE GREAT ROMANTIC POSSIBILITIES;THE LOCALE WAS CONDUCTIVE. NIOBE HAD NO TROUBLE RESISTING CONDUCTION.SHE WRAPPED HER LOVELY SELF UP IN A VOLUMINOUS QUILT-A WEDDING GIFT,AND SLEPT ON THE BED.YOUNG CEDRIC LAY BESIDE THE HEARTH,WHERE THERE WAS DWINDLING RADIATION FROM THE EMBERS.AS THE QUITE CHILL OF THE NIGHT INTESIFIED,NEITHER STIRRED. SO THEY SPENT THEIR NUPITAL NIGHT,THE WOMAN AND THE BOY,IN SILENT ISOLATION.IN THE MORNING CEDRIC GOT UP,STOKED THE ASHES IN THE FIREPLACE,AND WENT OUT TO RELIEVE HIMSELF AND FETCH MORE WOOD.

CONT=NIOBE WOKE TO THE SOUND OF AN AXE SPLITTING BILLETS OF WOOD.IT WAS A GOOD SOUND,FOR THE MORNING AIR WAS CHILL INDEED;SOON THERE WOULD BE PHYSICAL WARMTH. OR WOULD THERE ? SHE REMEMBERED THAT A FIRE PLACE WAS AN INEFFECTIVE WAY TO HEAT A HOUSE.A GOOD STOVE PUT SIX TIMES AS MUCH HEAT INTO THE SURROUNDING AIR FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF WOOD BURNED.THERE WAS A STOVE HERE;SHE NEEDED WARM HANDS TO OPERATE HER LOOM PROPERLY.SHE WRAPPED HER COAT ABOUT HER NIGHTROBE AND WENT OUT TO USE THE OUTHOUSE.THERE WAS AN OLD CATALOGUE BESIDE THE WOODEN SEAT,HALF-USED,AND A BUCKET OF ASHES.IT WAS AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM,SHE REFLECTED,FOR THIS WAS THE TIME FOR REFLECTION;ONE COULD READ EACH PAGE OF THE CATALOGUE BEFORE USING IT,OR SIMPLY STARE AT THE PICTURES.THE MIND WAS EDIFIED WHILE THE BODY WAS CLEANED.

Thanks @invincible......D traffic down here was a hectic one but i am here now.Hope no one is on my seat

CONT=The ashes were to sprinkle over the refuse,cutting down on the smell,and of course there was a ready supply of them at the house.The refuse was periodically toted to the garden for compost.it was an old-fashioned system,but a good one; nothing,really,was wasted.still she would have preferred a modern city toilet.She emerged in due course,shivering in the cold,but she paused to watch cedric at work.He was not cold at all ;the effort of splitting heated him.she had to admit he was good at it ;he set each billet of wood on the chopping block and halved it cleanly with a single blow of the axe,so that the pieces toppled to either side.He was a boy-but a big boy,with a fine ripple of muscle as he swung the axe.His blond hair jumped as the axe struck,and a muscle in his cheek tightened momentarily.A bonnie boy,indeed !

Following....

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN(INCARTATIONS OF IMMORTALITY)CHAPTER FOUR= He Saw Her And Paused.'You're Cold,Miss Niobe,He Said With A Rich BackWoods Accent That,Like Niobe'S Form,Is Better Imagined Than Rendered.'Here,Take My Jacket Till I Get The Wood In.I'm Too Hot Anyway.Don't Call Me Miss,'She Protested.I Am After All Your Wife.It Grieved Her To Say It,But It Was A Truth She Could Not Deny,And Honesty Required That She Not Attempt To.A Marriage,However Ill-Concieved,Was A Marriage. He Paused Half-Startled.'Uh,Sure,I Guess So.But You Know,Ma'Am,It Was None O' My Notion To Get Married Like This;I'm Not Even Through School. She Might Have Guessed ! 'It Was'nt My Idea Either,She Said.'At Least Not-' 'Not To Am Ignorant Kid ! He Finished With A Rueful Grin.'Come On Now Before You Freeze Your Toes Off,Miss - Uh, Ma'Am.He Approached Her,Jacket Extended. Just A Moment,'She Said,Constrained To Assert Her Independence Even From This.'You Look A Lot More Comfortable Than I Am.Give Me That Axe. To Be Cont.

CONT='Oh,That's Not A Woman'S Work,Ma'Am ! I'll Do It. 'That Isn't Woman's Work,'She Said, Annoyed By The Double Negative. 'That's What I Said !'Then He Paused,Embarrassed.'Oh -You Mean The Way I Said It.I'm sorry. I'm Just A BackWoods Boy,Ma'Am,And Sorry You Had To Get Stuck With - ' 'What's Done Is Done,Cedric. She Said Firmly.She Wrested The Axe From His Grip,Knowing He Could Offer No Effective Resistance To Her Because She Was An Adult.She Set Up A Billet And Swung At It -- And Caught The Very Edge Of It.The Blade Caromed Off And Plunged Into The Ground Beside Her Right Foot. 'Uh,Ma'Am,Please ~'Cedric Said,Worried. 'No, I Can Do It !' She Said,Hauling The Axe Up Again In A Wobbly Trajectory. He Jumped To Intercept Her.'Let Me Help You Ma'Am,No offence.' 'You're Afraid I'll Break The Axe !' She Accused Him.'No Ma'Am ! I'm Afraid You'll Chop Off A Toe,And I'd Sure Hate To Have Anything Like That Happen To A Foot As Dainty As That. To Be Cont=Morning Guys Thks 4 Ur Luv BT Ur Comments Means Alot

CONT=She Relaxed.His Diplomacy Was Effective Because It Was UnSchooled.'So Would I ! I Did Come Close,Did'nt I ? All My Incidental Studies About Trees,And I Never Split A Single Blivet Of ~ 'Billet,Ma'Am,'He Said Quickly. She Had To Laugh.'Of Course ! I Don't Use The Language As Well As I Supposed !' 'Oh, No,You Talk Real Fine,Ma'Am,'He Said.'Now You Take The Handle Like This,See,And~'He Reached Around Her To Put His Hands Over Hers,Setting Hers Properly On The Handle.His Hands Were Larger Than Hers,Callused And Strong,Seeming Too Big For His Body.She Wondered Whether Boys,Like Puppies,Had Outsized Paws If They Were Still Growing Into Them.If So,Cedric Would In Due Course Be A Young Giant.'How Is It Your Hands Are So Rough,When Your Family Is Scholarly?'She Asked Thoughtlessly. He Snatched His Hands Away.'Oh,You Know, Fighting,'He Said Embarrassed. Fighting. Well Boys Would Be Boys.'There Shouldn't Be Cause For That Here,'She Informed Him Gently. 'No,'Course Not,'He Muttered,Scuffling His Feet.

NIOBE SPLIT WOOD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES,AND SOON WAS WARM ENOUGH TO REMOVE HER COAT.'IF I HAD KNOWN HOW SATISFYING IT IS TO SPLIT WOOD,I WOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG AGO',SHE GASPED. YOU SURE LOOK GOOD DOIN IT,CEDRIC SAID. NO I DON'T !'SHE PROTESTED,PLEASED. 'YES YOU DO, MA'AM.YOU'RE ONE PRETTY WOMAN. 'AND YOU'RE ONE BONNIE BOY.BUT I'M GETTING TIRED ; LET'S GO IN AND GET SOME BREAKFAST.'NO I MEAN IT, MA'AM.YOU'RE THE PRETTIEST WOMAN I'VE EVER SEEN,SPECIALLY WHEN YOU MOVE LIKE THAT. SHE LOOKED DOWN AT HERSELF.SHE WAS GLOWING FROM THE EXERTION,BREATHING HARD,AND HER NIGHTWEAR WAS PLASTERED TO HER BOSOM.THIS WAS NOT HER NOTION OF FEMININE BEAUTY,BUT SHE WAS FLATTERED ALL THE SAME.AND I MEAN IT TOO,CEDRIC. YOU'RE A YOUNG ADONIS.WHEN YOU GET YOUR GROWTH, YOU'LL BE ATTRACTING ALL THE GIRLS.THEN SHE PAUSED,FLUSTERED,REALIZING WHAT SHE HAD SAID.ATTRACT GIRLS ? HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED-- TO HER. SHE FELT THE FLUSH CLIMBING HER FACE. PLS SORRY FOR POSTING LATE I HOPE YOU'RE STILL FOLLOWING THE STORY

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN(incarnations of immortality)Charpter Five= He did not reply.He stopped to gather an armful of wood,then carried it into the cabin.But she could tell by the flush on his neck that he felt just asembarrassed as she did.He was young and socially inexperienced,but he was a good young man,meaning well.It was as awkward for him as it was for her. 'Cedric, I -' But what could she say that would not exacerbate the situation ?Better to let it drop. Inside,she explained about the stove. 'Sure, ma'am,' he said agreeably.'We use a stove in winter.'He showed his expertise in getting it going, making sure the ashes were not clogging the air vents,adjusting the damper in the stovepipe,and carefully building a structure of paper,kindling and wood in the firebox.'Got to start a cold stove slow,'he explained.'Don't want it to crack.'But Soon Enough It Was Producing Comforting Heat, and Niobe was making pancakes on its surface. @pizzaro(mr coolval) and @tennie benson(miss coolval)PLS RG

with a tangled skein=(continuation) 'you sure know how to cook,ma'am!' Cedric said as he wolfed down his share. He had a huge appetite, as befitted a growing boy.'I'm a woman,'Niobe said wryly. 'you sure are!'he agreed enthusiastically. She changed the subject.'I gather that you did not want to -to get married?' 'Pshaw, ma'am, I'm not ready for nothing like that!he agreed. I don't know nothing about women. and I wanted to finish school, and get into the track programme, so I could may be make something of myself, you know. but you know how it is when family resides .'I know,she agreed. I suppose it's no secret that I objected to this-I mean,I didn't even know you,Cedric just your name and age, and that you came from a good family.it's nothing personal-' 'it's a good family, all right,'he agreed. And so's yours, which is why- you know, he shrugged.'I just wasn't, well, quite ready. She found herself liking this honest, unassuming boy.she had an idea. Look Cedric- why don't you go to school anyway? we can afford it,and if you really want to get an education-' long time no see coolvalers, sorry for not being stable i lost my DAD but I'm back for good now and you will have the full story now God bless---please register Mr Pizzaro (Mr COOLVAL)and miss tennis Benson (miss COOLVAL) help me out

thanks @ COOLVAL

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN (Chapter Six)=His face brightened,'say,you mean it,ma'am? you'd let me go?' I would encourage it,Cedric., But you'd be alone here, ma'am, and-' 'I'll be safe enough she replied. there are no dragons in these forest,she smiled. He paused, as if slightly stunned. Her smile had been known to have that effect on men. then he frowned.'There is magic, though, he said darkly.'Those trees cast spells-' 'Not against those who understand them,Niobe said.'I have been studying the magic of wetlands forest.Those trees and plants only want to live and let live. But when you come marching in with an axe -'He was startled.'Say .I never thought of that! If I was a tree, I wouldn't like it none neither!'Then he paused.'Say- I know I didn't say that right. ma'am, would you-' 'If I were a tree, I would not like it any,either, Niobe said carefully.'Eliminate the double negative.' 'Were, ma'am?' That's the subjunctive mood,used to show supposition. I'm not a tree and never could be,but I'm trying to put myself in the tree's place, so I signal this by saying"IF I were a tree."To say"if I was a tree"would to be suggest I might have been a tree in the past, and that would be a misrepresentation.'It sure would!'He caught himself. certainly would. It certainly makes sense the way you tell it "ma'am". 'Cedric, you really don't need to call me "ma'am",she said gently. 'Well it's a term of respect for an older -'He broke off. Niobe smiled again. Now we're even, Cedric. I mis-spoke myself outside, and perhaps you did the same, now.we are in a difficult situation, but we must make the best of it.In time we shall not notice the five-year difference in our ages:it is little enough, really. were it reversed-' Yeah,the men figure sixteen is prime for a girl, he agreed.'Funny, isn't it!'perhaps it is a prime age-if a person is not interested in getting a genuine education. He turned serious again.you know, all my family have been smart in-you sure about the school? I am if you are,Cedric.'I certainly am!I want to get smart. lots of luck she murmured. He winked at her,and she realized he had caught the irony. she blushed suddenly and hard;he was smart enough to know what she thought of him.'I did it again, she said through her burning face.'I owe you one.'No,you already paid me when you told me the subjunctive, ma'am. Oops! she started to laugh, halfway hysterically. He joined her.They both knew it wasn't funny, but it cleared the air somewhat. They finished their breakfast in silence.

continuation:-The day warmed up rapidly. Niobe dressed and finished with the dishes and straightened up the cabin, for she believed in order. Cedric carried more split wood inside so that there would be no problem the following morning. Then it became awkward again, for they had nothing else to do.This was not normally a problem for the newly married, Niobe knew, so no provision had been made.'I can set up my loom,'she said. But it didn't seem appropriate,this first day.',I can go scout a trail to run on,he said. That was right; he had mentioned being interested in track. If he returned to school, he would have the opportunity, so training would be in order. But he,too was doubtful, knowing that this was not what honey-mooners were supposed to be doing.'Let me help you,she said.'We can take a walk through the forest,exploring it.I'm eager to verify the local magic. He smiled.To take a walk together; that was a suitable occupation. And leave the axe behind,'he said.'So as not to frighten the trees,she agreed. They walked, and it was beautiful. The foliage had not yet been jaded by the heat of summer, and the bright kept the mosquitoes at bay.They discovered a path that led down into the swamp,where the bases of the trees became swollen and the green moss climbed high. Now Niobe's expertise in wild magic came into play. She showed him how the huge water oaks of the swamp extended protective spells for the small fish who lived among their roots and help fertilize them with their droppings, and how the hamadryad, or tree nymph,could be glimpsed if one had the patience to be still and really look for her.'She dies when her tree dies,she explained.'That's why she's so sensitive to the sight of an -'She paused, then spelled it,'A-X-E-.'she's really pretty, he agreed.'Almost as pretty as you. From now on,I'm not cutting no-not cutting any live wood. Niobe felt a warm wash of pleasure. It was foolish, she knew, but she liked being reminded she was beautiful, and nymphs were the standard against which mortals were measured. Nymphs were eternally youthful and supple-as long as their trees were healthy. A woodlands specialist could diagnose the ills of a tree merely by looking at it's nymph. They went on,getting their feet muddy in the slushy sections of the path.'Maybe we could drain this bog and farm this rich soil,'Cedric said.'Drain the bog!Niobe repeated, shocked. But it's vital to the forest! It's a recharge region for Water. It stores excess rainfall and sustains the plants when there's a drought. Without the wetlands, the land would lose many of it's best trees, and not just those that grow in it. The water table extends everywhere, and the roots find it-but the wetlands keep the level right.'Then in her enthusiasm for the wetlands, Niobe burst into song.(I want to waltz in the wetlands, The swamps, the marshes and bogs(oh,the bogs).Yes,I want to waltz in the wetlands with the birds and the fish and the frogs), Cedric watched and listened,openmouthed, until her conclusion;('I want to waltz in the wetlands, a place where nature gets by And I...will cry...will cry when the wetlands are dry. Yes I... will cry... will cry when the wetlands are dry.'She was so moved herself that the tears were streaming down her face. Cedric seemed awed.'Niobe,I don't want you to cry! I'll never drain the wetlands.Never!'She smiled at him, then accepted his handkerchief to wipe away her tears.'It's only a song,Cedric.'It's only a song he agreed. But you-you're special.'Thank you, she said, touched. She knew she was not any great singer. The fit had come on her unexpectedly, and she had half expected him to laugh. Obviously he had been impressed, and that was very flattering. They completed their survey of the region and returned to the cabin.It occurred to her in retrospect that for the first time he had called her by her unadorned name. She wasn't certain how she felt about that, but she had after all made an issue of his calling her'miss' or'ma'am and certainly he had a right to use her name. He was after all her husband-in name.

it's ready guys pls call others-- I beg o a note to Mr cooval admins you've not add my story to the on going stories yet and its discouraging somehow, please help make amendment, @coolval22.com

cool story

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN (CHAPTER SEVEN) I'm going to study the wetlands!'He declared abruptly. Ah,the impetuosity of youth!'They are worth studying, she agreed carefully. But of course you shouldn't restrict your interests. He just looked at her. She had seen that look in the eyes of the family dog when he had been praised and patted.It was going to take time to adjust completely to this situation. Nevertheless, they felt more comfortable with each other now.Niobe fixed their meals from the stores in the cabin,and when these were depleted, Cedric hiked into town to buy more and haul them back in his knapsack. He like to hike;he was a very physical person, with the burgeoning energy of youth. But they also played games together, including a contest of riddles.She quickly discovered that he had a remarkably agile mind and could best her readily at this sort of things. She fed him the riddle that had stymied her family for years; it concerned six men trying to cross a river using a boat for two, with certain conditions. He solved it immediately, as if it wasn't even a challenge. He also caught on to the nuances of correct speaking so rapidly that he was soon perfect. She could understand, now,why his family had a scholarly tradition. Meanwhile, he showed her how to manage the physical things, such as stacking wood for winter so that it wouldn't rot and emptying the base of the outhouse. But she continued to sleep on the bed,and he on the hearth; there was no physical romance between them.In two weeks Niobe came to know Cedric very well and continued to be impressed by his superior qualities. He was a strong and smart youth,with an amiable disposition and good potential-but he was a youth. He was also her husband. Niobe knew she could not send him away to the college without consummating the marriage. But how was she to go about it?She had no experience in this aspect, and no great inclination. Still, it was evident that Cedric was not going to initiate the matter; He treated her with respect bordering on worship. So it was up to her.Cedric, She said one pleasant afternoon. He met her gaze, then looked away shyly.'Ah,Niobe,has it come to that now?'At times he seemed almost to read her mind.When the honeymoon is over, my mother will ask me, and your father will ask you. for the news.He sighed.'That they will.But I am not so naive as to think that I'll force my attention on a woman who doesn't love me. He had an excellent grasp of the fundamentals and he expressed them well.: Oh?You have been loved before?.He shook his head, embarrassed. Never. I lack experience. So do I,She admitted. But you are supposed to lack it!She had laugh.'Cedric, I am sure that had you been permitted to wait until you could marry at my age, you would have had it.But I hardly condemn you for this particular lack. It means you come to me-Pristine.'I'm only sixteen, he reminded her defensively. Aye,there's talk among boys,but I'll wager I'm not the only one who never-'He shrugged.

Continuation of chapter seven:-'Of course, she agreed quickly.'A double standard is hypocrisy. it is best that a man and a woman come to-She hesitated.'To learn together.'It is hard to-He too,hesitated.'If you loved me as I love you, it would be-He faltered as he saw her blushed.'What did you say, Cedric?'Twas a slip o'th'tongue,'He said, slipping back into his idiom as he reddened further. I apologize.'You apologize-for loving your wife?'But you know it isn't real!'The marriage or the love? He scuffed his foot.'Oh you know. you're such a fine woman, so lovely I get lightheaded just looking at you, and you know so much, you're so poised, you deserve so much better, and you certainly didn't ask for this. I don't want to make it worse for you. I'm just a kid. Niobe, her pulse racing, focused on the single thing.'When? When did you know you loved me? He shrugged, as if passing it off as something beneath notice. 'That first day-When you sang in the swamp. When you cried for the wetlands. I never heard anything so-'He spread his hands, lacking a word.'But I'm not even a good singer!'You believe! he said seriously. You really do love the wetlands-and I do too, now, because of you. What you love, I love.'Cedric, you never said-'And make fool of myself? he asked with mild bitterness.'And maybe drive you away? Because here's this gangling boy mooning over you? I'm not that stupid.'Cedric,you aren't stupid at all! You're a fine lad-a fine young man! I'm sure that-'Please,can't we just forget it?'No,we can't! Cedric, I can't claim I love you-that sort of thing is more gradual with a woman, and-'And there has to be a man 'Cedric! He just looked at her, and looked away. She knew there was no way to make him lose sight of the truth: that she didn't see him as a man. Niobe had generally got her way, in life. This time her beauty acted against her. It was, she realized, time that she herself grew up. She would do what had to be done.'Cedric, we've been over this matter of age before. it's a chimaera. it really doesn't matter. Love doesn't matter. We're married.'`Love doesn't matter? He asked. I didn't really mean that. of course it matters! I meant that I'm ready to do what I have to do, without waiting for something that may never-I mean hasn't yet-'I understand what you mean, he said gravely.'I do respect you, Cedric, and I am your wife. There are many women married to men of mature age who do what is required regardless of their personal feelings. it is time we made our marriage-real.'No! Not with one who doesn't love me. It just isn't right!'She felt as if she were in a pit that kept getting deeper the more she tried to scramble out. Where were the euphemisms, the handy oblique references that sugar-coated the unfortunate reality? Cedric wouldn't lie, and neither would she, and on that jagged stone of integrity their marriage was floundering before it began. Where was the way to make it right? They were each trying to do the right thing, and the irony was that they agreed on what the right thing was, yet had to go counter to it. Of course there should be mutual LOVE! And there was not. She could give him her body and her best wishes, but not her heart. Not yet. She felt the tears starting again.'Oh, don't do that, please!'he pleaded. I can't Stand to see you sad.'Cedric,it's not your fault.You're right, you know. You need a woman to love you, and I wish I -'Now the tears overflowed, choking her off.'Oh miss-'he started.'Missus,'She corrected him, forcing a smile.'I'd do anything to make you happy! But I don't know how!'THEN MAKE ME LOVE YOU! She flared.

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN (EPISODE=EIGHT) There was silence as they both realized what she had said. He shook his head, baffled.'Niobe, how-?'The same way any other man does. Court me! He look at her sidelong.'You would sit still for that?'Do you think you're some monster, Cedric? If you love me, prove it!'And that I will!'Come to the water oak where you sang to me, and i will sing to you.'Yes!'She cried, as if it were a phenomenal break-through. And in a way,it was.The realization that he loved her excited and flattered her; she had never been loved that way before. They went to the water oak,and she sat on one of its projecting roots, clear of water, and leaned back against it's massive trunk. The hamadryhad peered nervously down from the high foliage, wondering what they were up to. Cedric stood before her, then dropped to one knee and struck a pose. Niobe kept a straight face, determined not to spoil his effort. He took a breath and sang: ('Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That hills and valleys, dales and fields, And all the craggy mountain yields.) His voice was untrained but strong, and he had good pitch and control, and a great deal of feeling. It was a nice song, with an evocative melody, and she was impressed. (And we will sit upon the rocks, seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks.) As he sang, he reached forth to take her hand ('By shallow rivers, to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals.'At his touch, something happened. Suddenly there was a music, as of a mighty orchestra, filling the forest with the power of its sound. His voice seemed to become amplified, magnificent, evocative, compelling, beautiful. She sat stunned, mesmerized by his amazing presence, by the phenomenal music, and she only came out of it when the song ended. ('...if these delight thy mind may move, Then be with me,and be my love. As he stopped singing, the grand music also died away.'What's that? Niobe asked, awed, still holding his hand. He looked concerned. Is something wrong?.'That-that music! Where did it come from?'Oh-that. I thought you knew. It's my magic. It runs in our family, off and on. I'm sorry if I -'Sorry!'She exclaimed. It's absolutely beautiful! How do you do it?He shrugged, letting go of her hand. It just comes when i sing, when i touch. See. He put his hand on the trunk of the tree, and Sang: (Come live with me and be my love) Niobe heard nothing special-but the tree shuddered as if reverberating to some potent sound,and the dryad almost fell off her branch. Niobe put her own hand on the bark, and the orchestra returned. (And we will all the pleasure prove)'Cedric-it's terrific! It's-an experience! She was unable to define it further.'It's just-the way it is.He seemed nonplussed by her reaction.'Sing to me again, she urged him.'But it's finished. All that follows is the maiden's response. Niobe took his hand.'Then sing that, Cedric!'He Sang, and the orchestra was with him, buttressing his voice and elevating it to the transcendence manifested before. It was not mere sound or mere music; it seemed to be more than three dimensions, as if pure emotion had been harnessed into melody. Could love, she asked herself, be more than this?'(if all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might be move To live with thee, and be thy love.) These were words of negation, but it didn't matter; the evocative power remained. Niobe realized that anything Cedric sang would have similar effect. She remained entranced until the last verse. ('But could youth last and love still breed, Had joys no date nor age no need, Then those delights my mind might move To live with thee, and be thy love.)'The song finished, and with it the magic. But now Niobe gazed at Cedric with a new appreciation. He did indeed have magic, and love was possible.'TAKE ME HOME, CEDRIC,'She told him. Good morning to all coolvalers, hope you have a nice weekend, wishing you all a HAPPY RAMADAN KAREEM. =PLEASE THERE WOULD BE NO UPDATES EVERY SUNDAYS.

WITH A TANGLED SKEIN=CHAPTER-NINE== By the time they reached the cabin, however, Niobe had had a chance to restabilize. It was after all, only magic, Cedric was no different than he had been, and their situation had not really changed. It made no sense to do anything she might be sorry for later. So she did not push the matter, and Cedric did not, and their marriage remained unconsummated. After another week of this, Niobe realized that time was running short. They had been given a full month to themselves; thereafter the relatives would be visiting. Niobe realized this as she was about to sleep.'They'll know,'she said, abruptly sitting up in bed.'Yeah,'Cedric agreed from the hearth.'Cedric, come over here,'she said in a peremptory fashion.'We must get this done. We can't face them, otherwise.He got up and perched on the foot of the bed. He seemed to be afraid of her.'Cedric, it's really not all that complicated,'she said. We've both been told about the birds and the bees and we've seen animals.'You're no animal!'he said horrified. That set her back. This remained awkward.If he had come on like a bull in a mating pen, she would have been appalled, but would have tolerated it;that, her mother had warned her privately, was the way men were. At least the ice, so to speak, would have been broken. She didn't feel quite comfortable with that metaphor.'Forget the animals. she said.'Come to bed with me. It's ridiculous sleeping apart like this. He moved up, and stretched timorously beside her on the bed.'Not in your clothes!'she exclaimed.'Oh, ma'am I couldn't-She reached across and took his hand. It was cold and stiff.'Cedric, are you afraid of me?'Oh, no,ma'am! he protested. But he was shivering.'Of-What we have to do?'Terrified,'he agreed.'Cedric, this is ridiculous. You know I like you, and if you sing to me-'That's the magic, not me.'And he wanted her to love him, not his magic. He had a point. But she suspected this was mainly an excuse to justify his fear.'Cedric, I know you're no coward. What's really bothering you?'I couldn't-just couldn't do that to you ma'am. That ma'am again! She was trying to bring them closer to each other, but only succeeding in increasing their separation.'Why not?'Because you're so-so beautiful and wonderful and-He shrugged, unable to express himself properly.'But Cedric, I'm your wife!'Not by your choice!'he replied. This ground was too familiar; she had to get away from it.'But not by yours either, Cedric. We are two people thrown together by circumstance and the will of our families, and they really have tried to do what was best for us, and now we-'A woman and a boy,'he said. There it was again. He felt inadequate-and she couldn't with this assessment, privately. But she knew she had to change that.'But you're growing,'she said.'I don't think I'll ever be grown enough for you.'Oh, Cedric, that's not true!'she protested. But she knew she sound like a mother encouraging a child. This dialogue was going nowhere. Like all the others. She considered, while he lay in uncomfortable silence. After a bit, she said:'Cedric, maybe we're trying to do things too abruptly. Let's start in stages. Take off your clothes, lie beside me under the quilt and sleep, tonight.Nothing else.'You promise?'She laughed.'I promise, Cedric. What do you think i could do to you?'He had to laugh too, but it was strained.'What if it get cold?'Then we move together, to share our warmth under the covers. That's the idea isn't it?'But you-you aren't wearing much.`She sat up and unbuttoned her nightie,pleased at her own daring. I'll wear nothing at all. He actually rolled over and fell of the bed with an awful thunk. Alarmed, Niobe jumped out, ran around, and bent to help him up.'Oh Cedric, I'm so sorry! Are you hurt?'Please, ma'am-your shirt-'He turned his face away. She glanced down. In the faint light of the dying fire, she saw that her partially unbuttoned nightie had fallen open, exposing part of her bosom. 'For God's sake, Cedric, you can look at me! I'm your wife!'It's not right,'he said, face still averted.'Cedric, look at me! she ordered. But he would not. Anger flared in her exposed bosom. She got up and stalked back around the bed and plumped back down. What was she to do with this boy?. Then through her cooling fury, she became aware of something. She listened. He was leaning against the bed and sobbing trying desperately to muffle it so that she would not know. Her emotion spun about in a full turn.'Oh, Cedric!she breathed, and started across the bed to comfort him. Then she stopped, realizing that that might be the worst thing she could do. She was no mother, and he no child, and these roles had to be avoided like the plague. She had thought originally only of her own chagrin at being married to a boy; now she realized that the problem was far more acute for him. She had to find a way to free them both from these perceptions so that she would be a woman and he a man. Tonight was a loss She would just have to let it ground itself out and try to do better on the morrow
