Camday, 30th Day of the Beginning of Autumn

Come away with me... in the nite...

Come away with me...

I herd the childrins wipser. I fell asleep with littal Benni on my lap, curled up an sucking on his thum. The wipsers woke me up. I spent the nite as a promiss to Benni. It was strange, with the childrins, I do not git hedaches, but wen I herd the wispers of those to, I coud feel the thudding start in ther.

The girl and boy... they was 14 an 15.. soon they woud be let out as apprentissis. They was running away. I herd them. It made me hurt to no they woud be out ther alone, but it also made me happy to see them. They held eech othars hands, sneeking into the orchard wher me and Benni had fallin asleep. The sat on the bench while I leened aginst the tree. I do not think they saw me. It was dark and raining.

They lookt so in love. So happy. The boy... he ramindid me of sumone, but I cannot put a name on who. I suppose the name went away frum me. i watchd as the boy kissd the girl's cheek and tempals and hands. He promissd to take care of her ferevar. He promissd to nevar leeve her. To always love her. She promissd the same. I felt bad waching them. I felt bad peeking.

But I coud not turn away. Evin tho I tryd.

I watchd them kiss eech othar a millin times. Then they ran off bak to the bilding. I did not see them in the morning. Mebbe I dreemd them up, but I do not think so. The ladees did not seem worreed they were not ther. They did not seem to care. Mebbe it was becuz they had so many othar childrins to wach.

Benni is gittin much bettar. Bak to his regular self agin now that the heelars givd him medisin fer his ear ake. I do not think I will stay here agin tonite.

It maks me sad.
