Hi, everyone.
This week I have another excerpt from
"The Cowboy and the Mail-order Bride."
In this snippet, Eleanor has just received a letter from her prospective bridegroom
in which he discusses his ideas on discipline.
“What does he say?” asked Penny.
“He
says he’s going to spank me.”
“He
does not.”
“He
does. Read it for yourself.”
She
took the letter and read it with a skeptical look on her face, but when she got
to the part where he discussed his ideas on discipline, her face got serious
and she handed it back.
“I
guess you’re not going to go, are you?”
“Oh,
I’ll go. What reason could he ever have
to punish me? I’m as good as gold.”
Well, I hope you enjoyed this week's snippet.

As always, please go check out the other authors' blogs.
You won't be sorry. They're always a lot of fun to read.
I think her silly notion of being good-as-gold is about to be tested.
ReplyDeleteLol. No doubt!
DeleteShort and to the point snippet... and leaving the reader wondering... "Good as Gold" or perhaps "Bad as Gold" -after all, "What reason could he ever have to punish her?"... loved the serious facial expression when she got to the part on discipline...
ReplyDeleteIt must've been a shock to read that, for both of them.
DeleteI admire her optimism, misplaced though it may be.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling she's going to suffer a short, sharp shock.
DeleteLol, there's always a reason to be punished. No one is perfect, and I'm pretty sure that being perfect is a punishable offence.
ReplyDeleteShe may be a bit too smug for her own good.
ReplyDeleteThis screams, famous last words :D Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sadie!
