Christine is working on manners. She doesn't understand how much I love her. She has been throwing tantrums the entire week that she has been here. I enter the room to bring her food, and she starts throwing stuff. The first few times she tried to rush past me. I let it go the first time as I knew how scared she must have been. However, the next time she tried it, I used the chloroform again. I took her breakfast tray back with me and locked the door.

I pasted by her room a couple of times that day and heard her crying. I can not tell you how much it hurt to walk past and hear her crying. I wanted to rush in and take care of her, but if Christine does not want my company I shall not force it upon her. However, this also means no food. I waited until lunch time the next day before I thought I would try again.

I had no problem carrying the tray in. Christine was sitting at the window, watching a deer. I set down the tray before I said anything. "If I could trust you to behave, I would take you outside."

"You could just take me home." Christine didn't even bother to turn and face. Didn't try to reassure me that she would be on her best behavior if I would just let her go outside for a little bit. No, she wanted to argue.

"Christine, we're not fighting today. Come sit down and have lunch. I know you must be hungry." I arranged both of our plates along with everything else. I am really looking forward to using the dinning room with Christine, but then would not have been the time.

"I am want to go home. Please."

"Christine." I said warningly. I don't know why Christine always insists on arguing.

"Please. I'll do whatever you want. I have a voice lesson tomorrow. If I am not there, Erik will be upset. Please."

"Erik will get over it. Maybe, one day when you have learned to behave yourself enough for company to come over, Erik can come to the house and resume your lessons."

"NO!" She shouted at me, but her voice died down when she saw the look in my eyes. "I have to go home. You haven't seen Erik's temper. He will be furious if I am not there tomorrow. Please take me home."

"Christine, do you think you got up to early this morning? I think it's time to go back to bed." I tried to keep my temper calm.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BED. I WANT TO GO HOME. NOW." Christine was lucky I didn't take her over my knee right then and there. Maybe I am spoiling her.

"Christine, you have till the count of three to compose yourself, sit down and eat before I come over. If I have to come get you, you will be given a sound spanking and put to bed."

"You wouldn't?!" Christine didn't know whether or not to take me seriously.

"One." I started counting in the sternest voice possible.

"Stop. Don't."Christine had moved a few feet closer to me before she stopped.

"Two."

"I am coming." Christine whispered before she finished coming toward me and the table. She took her seat and had to wipe a few tears from her face. I sat down and smiled at her. "Christine, I trust we won't have many more of these."

She has not tried to leave her room by trying to sneak past me again. The tantrums, unfortunately, have continued at every meal. The days that she had singing lessons scheduled have the worst mornings. I am hoping that she will keep her in temper in control today. I don't feel up to arguing with my angel.

I open the door and am quite surprised to see Christine already sitting at the table. She looks extra pretty today as if though she is trying hard to please me.

"Good morning, Christine."

"Good morning, Paul." See how good she can be if she only tries. I hand her her plate, and she graciously accepts it. After a few bites, she looks up at me. "Could I go outisde, please?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
