Saturday, February 14, 2004When Boone returned home, so the story goes, Rebecca meets him, weeping. "What's the matter?" asks Boone. "You was gone so long," says she, "we supposed you dead." In her sorrow, she had found company with another man, and now there was a new baby in the house. "Oh well," sighs Boone after a considerable pause. "The race will be continued. Whose is it?" "Why," says she, lowering her head in shame, "it's your brother's." She claimed that the other Boone looked so much like Daniel, she couldn't help herself. And legend has it that Daniel told her to dry her eyes and welcome him home. After all, he had been obliged to "marry in Indian fashion" a couple of times himself. They lived the rest of their lives happily married and the child was raised as his own. True, selfless, love. Happy Valentine's Day! posted by Sydney on 2/14/2004 08:31:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
