My name is Bess. I was considered ugly in my classes and the other people teased me. I had long black hair and black eyes.

I had been taught the ways of a lady but didn’t listen to them. So I wasn’t allowed to take lessons anymore. So my father had me work at our inn.

It was paradise unlike sitting in a stuffy room with tea and lace. I loved living in Maine though we had lived in England before we came here for indapendance.

The Revoloutinary war was still going on and I was always afraid of what was going to happen if the red-coats took over our country.

I did my daily chores around the inn cleaning everybodies rooms. Then I sat on my hill above the water just gazing at the endless sea.

"How, I wish I could travel across the sea," I whispered. But no one heard me against the roar of the ocean.

I walked back to the inn and flopped onto my bed. How I wished I could have an adventure, or even just a love would be fine.

But I didn’t know how much I had asked for.
