I had planned on posting Tuesday but I was at school putting up my Art display (Yeah!) Which by the way has a video tape case of "The Sound of Music" in it! So since it's Wednesday and a half-day and I had free time.I decided to start typing! For those of you that do read the story.although from the looks of it that's not many. Grrrrrrr!

Chapter 7: Dinner with the von Trapps
I'm Late. I'm Late, I'm always late. I have the worst timing! I round the corner and everyone was there, waiting for me. All dressed so formally.
"Good Evening." I say to the Captain, he stares at me for a moment. Yet again there's that look, and I know this won't be the last time I'll see it. I look to the well-dressed children and walk toward my chair.
"Good Evening, Children."
"Good Evening, Fraulein Maria." I sit down.
"Whaaaaaah ah ah ah!" What's that? I jump up immediately I felt something poke me! I look to my chair, and there's a pinecone sitting in my place.
"Enchanting little ritual. Something you, uh, learned at the abbey?" It was one of the children's practical jokes. Instead of tattling on them I had to find a way at getting back at them. As I sit down I notice them begin to eat, without thanking the Lord! How horrible!
"Excuse Me, Captain, but haven't we forgotten to thank the Lord?" The Captain stares at me, it's that stare again. I don't think he likes me very much. I watch as he folds his hands and the children follow suit.
"For what we are about to receive may the Lord make us truly thankful. Amen."
"Amen."
"Amen." As we begin to eat, I decide to bring up the matter of my welcoming.
"I'd like to thank each and everyone of you, for the precious gift you left in my pocket earlier today." The Captain looks up at me, somewhat bewildered. I'm really enjoying this!
"Um, What gift?" Kurt glances at me, with a warned look. And the rest of the children look scared. This was all part of my little plan, I had the power to make them feel guilty about what they had done. Just a little bit.
"It's meant to be a secret, Captain, between the children and me."
"Uh huh. Then I suggest that you keep it and let us eat." With a comment like that, I just couldn't drop it! Sometimes that man can be so infuriating. Argh!
"Knowing how nervous I must have been, a stranger in a new house hold, knowing how important it was for me to feel accepted, it was so kind and thoughtful of you to make my first moments here so warm and happy and pleasant." They all begin to look effected. I grin, the cheese has been snatch from the children. Perhaps in the future this would change their attitude towards me, and their future Governess'. The Captain gives me a strange smile, which I think is forced more than anything else. Umm.Is he on to me? Marta starts to cry, ah the joy of success! Well that's one down.
"What's the matter, Marta?" I hear the Captain ask he sounds annoyed by it.
"Nothing." The rest of younger ones follow suit. I smile my work is done.
"Uh, Fraulein, is it to be at every meal or mearly at, uh dinner time that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful New World of.indigestion?" He really has a strange sense of humor, but I was enjoying this way to much to think about the Captain's humor.
"Oh, there alright, Captain there just happy."
We continue our meal in silence, I had said all that I was going to say and I decided that I would enjoy this meal thoroughly. This was one glorious meal, I hadn't had a meal like this in a real long time. Finishing our main course and we were served Chocolate Cake, we used spoons instead of forks, how odd. I also noticed that the Captain changed his wine, for the cake.
Then that Butler walked in, the one I thought earlier was the Captain. He handed the Captain a piece of paper, a telegram. I think.
"A Telegram for you, sir."
"Hmm." As he grabs the telegram from the Butler, I notice his class ring.
"Franz who delivered it?"
"That young lad, Rolfe of course."
"Father may I be excused?" Umm.I notice Liesl's excitement. So Liesl likes the delivery boy? The Captain grunts, and Liesl seems disappointed by it.
"Children, in the morning, I shall be going to Vienna." The children began to protest.
"Oh, no Father."
"Not again, Father." The Captain glares at the children, I continue to eat, listening to their strange dinner conversation. I get the feeling that the Captain is gone often.
"How long will you be gone this time, Father?" I was right. Um.maybe I can get more information from Frau Schmidt.
"I'm not sure, Gretl. I'm not sure."
"To visit Baroness Schraeder again?"
"Mind your own business!" Friedrich's defending his father's actions.
"As a matter of fact, yes Louisa."
"Why can't we ever get to see the Baroness?"
"Why would she want to see you?"
"It just so happens, Marta, that you are going to see the Baroness. I'm bring her back with me to visit us all." I look up to find Liesl going up to get a glass of water. But she turns and leaves the room without permission. Sneaky.
"Good."
"And.Uncle Max."
"Uncle Max!" Not noticing Liesl's absence we continue to eat our dessert in silence. After we finish I take the next two hours to roam and explore the von Trapp villa. Looking through the glorious rooms finding them as beautiful as my room and most of them are even more glorious. I can't help but get lost in the beauty of this place it consumes me, like the stories of heaven when I was a child. But what's the point of a glorious home when you can't enjoy it or share it? Which no one here seems to do.
I continue back to my room in the East Wing. I showered and changed. A storm had brewed while I was in the in bathroom, umm.Rain! It's so very claming! There's a flash of lighting then thunder follows it. I move over to my window to close it trapping the rain outside.
