A Girl In The Valley by Lucy Simon
A man who came to my valley
A man I hardly knew
A man who came to my garden
Grew to love me
A girl I saw in the valley
A girl I hardly knew
A girl at work in her garden
Grew to love me
From the gate
He called out so kindly
"Lass, wouldst thou 'low me
Rest here? I've ridden quite far."
"Share my tea,"
She bade me so gently
Oatcakes and cream
Sweet plums in a jar
And every day to my garden
This man, who might he be
Came bearing baskets of roses
For he loved me
A man who came to my valley
A girl I saw in a valley
A man I hardly knew, A girl I hardly knew
A man who gave me a garden, A girl who gave me a garden
Grew to love me. Grew to love me
The Girl In The Valley
Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior had been married to Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart for 46 years and it had been a loveless marriage and they had muddled through their marriage and the only good thing that came from it was the five children that they shared together.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior had been 19 years old when he was made to marry 17 year old, Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart.
One day in 2274, he was traveling through his great-grandfather's Dukedom of Marlborough Territory on Star Base 12 on his way back to Norfolk Estate.
While driving back in his carriage he decided to ask the driver to stop his carriage so he could stretch his legs and rest on a nearby rock and as he walked toward the rock.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior noticed a very beautiful young woman walking outside on the property and he walked up to her and asked " Excuse me. Mademoiselle. Do you mind if I sit here for a while as I have traveled a long time?"
The young woman answers him " No. My Lord. Please be my guest."
"You are most welcome to rest here and in fact if you would like to join me for some refreshments you are welcome too." The young woman tells him.
"You are most kind, Milady." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior answers her.
"My grandfather was the late Lord John Spencer-Churchill and my late mother was his daughter, Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Spencer-Churchill. I don't get to travel too much to my late grandfather's Dukedom or Territory as I am the Duke of Norfolk Territory." Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior tells her.
