Violin music was heard as they rounded the corner and the setting sun was now illuminating St. James square. The three young ladies picked a prominent spot to be seen while listening to what they thought was German music. They perched and displayed themselves like peacocks welcoming their suitors. It did not take long either as all kinds of men strolled by and found reasons to converse with the comely, young ladies. Mari Anna even brought a basket to carry home all the gifts the ladies would receive from hopeful men.
Patrick watched slack-jawed as a line of men tried to catch the ladies’ fancy. “Well, I guess we have time for me to tell you the true story of how I came to be here in Savannah,” Patrick conceded. Patrick spun the heartbreaking tale and even had to hold back the tears as the grief poured out of him. Archibald held his shoulder in support and concern. A new trust and understanding was forged when the tale was done.
