Marie stood up startled at the sight of this handsome creature. So startled in fact that she fell over. Remy caught
her by the waist and lifted her onto her feet. Marie blushed a deep red and handed the ball to Jake.
"Ah would like ta thank ya for catching meh."
"Remy has no problem in helping de pretty ladies." Marie shocked by what he said and also exhilarated, giggled.
"Remy be happy to show you to your room."
"Ah like you're accent. Where are ya from?"
"I be from here and there. That's all you need to know about Remy. Where you be from?"
"Oh, Ah'm from Britain and France."
"Nice places they be. May Remy walk you to your room?" Marie was about to say yes when she saw her parents walk onto
the promenade. She wouldn't dare let her parents let her been seen with him.
"Ah'm sorry. Ah can't. Can Ah meet with ya later?"
"You can count on that, Cheré." he said kissing her hand. Marie ran up the stairs to join her parents. Remy's friend
Francis joined him at his side.
"Remy, Remy. Dis be bad. There be no way for you to get close to dis one. Not even you can, mon ami." Remy turned
his black and red eyes to Marie as he watched her walk away with longing in his heart, for he knew that she was for him. He
had said this before that for sure, but this time it was different. He knew she was special like him.
Remy walked into the cabins and laid down on his bed. He needed a way to see her. He punched the wall. Only if he
wasn't poor! Some way he would find the way.


"Marie, may Ah ask why ya were down there with the rift-raft?" Marie's mother asked.
"Mother, they are not rift-raft! They are human being like us! Ah like them."
"Just like that boy?" Marie looked at her mother.
"Ah just met him. We were just talking."
"Talking leads to other things." Marie's father put in.
"Father! How can you think that? Ah thought you would be happy for meh, since no one wants meh as it is!"
"Marie, there was a secret agenda we had in mind for this trip."
"What agenda?"
"We had a suitor waiting for ya in the new world. He is the son of a wealthy family of ours." Marie turned to he
mother in fury.
"Which friends?"
"Why the Reeds of course." Marie turned an angry shade of red.
"Are ya kidding? Ah hate their son Henry. Ah will not marry him!"
"Marie! You will not use that tone of voice with ya mother. You will do as we tell ya!" Marie stomped her foot, then
stormed into her room and slammed the door. How dare they? She couldn't believe this. She wanted a man to love her, but not
Henry. She would rather die then marry him. He was a mean, rotten, spoiled brat.
Marie opened the door to her room and fled to the parlor. Sitting down at a table she noticed a handsome young man
sitting at the table next to her. He smiled at her then sat down next to her.
"Can I sit with you?" he asked.
"If ya want."
"My name's Cody. What's yours?"
"Ah'm Marie."
"What are you doing down here by yourself?"
"Ah had a fight with my parents. Ah left."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No not really. Just company."
"I can do that."



Remy walked up the stairs hoping to find Marie among the people in the parlor. He knew he shouldn't be up here, but
he didn't care at all. He found her sitting at a table with a young man. She laughed at something he said.
He couldn't believe this. What did that man want with her anyway? He walked up to the glass and looked at her. He
loved the way she looked. More beautiful then most of the women he had dated in France.
Putting his hand on the window, Marie noticed him and smiled. She glanced at him in a way that neither said come
here or go away. She watched him for awhile wondering what to do. He would not suit her parents tastes and plus it was bad
culture for her to peruse anything.
She turned her attention back to Cody. He was very interesting. The kind of man her parents would like. Maybe that
would get her back onto their good side.
"My dear, shall we leave since the night is turning cold?" Cody asked.
"Alright." she said getting up with Cody. She looked at Remy and sighed. She mouthed 'I'm sorry' and left. She
walked down the hall with Cody by her side. They reached her door with ironically was a few doors down from his.
"Well, I had a nice night, Marie. I hope to see more of you."
"Ah did too and Ah hope so." Cody leaned in close to her wrapping his hand in her hair. Marie didn't know what to
do, but longed for this. She closed her eyes and he kissed her. He kissed her very softy, then he started making gurgling
noises.
Marie opened her eyes and saw his veins ready to burst. She screamed and backed away from Cody. He fell to the floor
convulsing and everyone in the rooms came rushing out. Marie just kept screaming.
"Someone get a doctor!" a man yelled.
"What happened?" Marie's mother asked coming close.
"Stay away from meh! Ah just touched him."she sobbed. "Ah just kissed him. Just everyone stay away from meh!" She
backed herself into a corner sobbing.
"Marie!" her father yelled.
"Stay away!" she screamed running into her room and locking it. She flung herself on the bed and sobbed until she
slept.
