Every day was a constant struggle for Lettie. The amount of pain she had to face every day was more then she ever thought she would go through. It hurt more then the protesters calling her a freak. If one of them had shot her, Lettie figured even that would be less painful then what she was going through now. Until the day he was found.
"Anne! Come here!" Lettie could hear them shouting. She didn't know what it was about, but she didn't care. "What is it, Phillip?" came Anne's response. "We found him! Here, look at this." the sounds of rustling newspaper were heard. "Another Barnum scandal, arrested and held in Maine by order of his former wife, Charity Hallet? Phillip, they can't think he's a scandal!" Anne read. Then the sounds stopped. "Who's going to tell Lettie?" at that moment, Lettie knew what she had to do. She pushed open her door and stepped out. "You don't have to." she said. "I heard every word."
