A/N there will be some racist language in this chapter. I'm not condoning it but it is period accurate and reflects the attitudes of people at the time. As a black girl and an Asian boy, Hazel and Frank would have stood out in the 18th Century English countryside and been seen as somewhat freakish.
The annual autumn fair in the village of Skye-on-Styx coincided with the local regiment being stationed there. Vendors set up tables and booths in the village square to sell both produce grown or created regionally or imported from far away. Hazel used what pin money she had to buy a new silk fichu, a pair of gilded sewing scissors shaped like a bird, some embroidered garters, and a heart-shaped pin cushion which could hang from her waist by a ribbon.
