Chapter 20 - Offering_1

"Don't, don't, don't, don't kick me." Chester had retreated into a corner, crying out, "After Betty chose me, and then the day before yesterday, those people told me the time was almost up. I told her that I had a relative living in a big city up north where we could live, and I could take her with me. She originally wanted to live up north, and was delighted with my offer. But she wanted to tell Uncle Dak, which would have ruined my plans. So, I scared her using the examples of Uncle Dak previously preventing her from going north. I swore that if she said anything, she'd be stopped, and wouldn't be able to go with me. And she believed it. She didn't know what to do, so I suggested she leave a note for Uncle Dak, and then I led her here."
