An interesting take on why Hamson chose to become a ropemaker. I like the way you depict the sisters and brothers in this chapter. I hope that Dandelion will prove worthy of young Hamson. You mentioned the age difference: at 25, Hamson is about 16, which would be a good age to begin an apprenticeship, and a good age to become interested in lasses. At 24, Dandelion would be approximately 14 and a half--a good age to become interested in lads, yet definitely an age at which her father would think her too young for any real courting. Very good beginning. I look forward to seeing more of this.

I'm glad you liked the family interactions. As for the ages, I was just sort of guessing. How are you figuring those out? Thanks for reading and commenting. <>< Saved from sin through Christ, mj
