Here (pants) I have another chapter.
Ch 2
General Madison frowned disapprovingly as Tavington stepped into the kitchen.
" I think you have some explaining to do, Lissie." The General said sternly. He had denied Colonel Tavington his daughter's hand and had found that he had still gone behind his back and proposed to her. The rest of the family had left the three of them to talk. General Madison waited till the door was shut to start his lecture.
" Well, I'm disappointed, especially with you Felicity. I thought I had made it very clear that you two were not to see each other again." He said.
" But Father I love him." She protested.
" Love will not help you when you are begging for food on the streets when you have no husband and a baby on the way!" Gen. Madison cried.
" You and mother married for love!" She said.
" We fell in love when our parents introduced us." He said.
Tavington was standing not knowing which side to take.
" William! Will you not take my side?" She asked feeling trapped.
" Sir, I couldn't keep myself from her, I do love her. I would rather die than spend a lifetime without her." William said true passion sounding in his voice. He couldn't bear to lose her.
" Though I see you speak the truth I can't let you marry her. How can I know she'll be safe, I would let you marry her had your reputation been better. I can't risk her life Colonel. You have too many enemies." He said.
William was desperate now so was Felicity. Tears were forming in her eyes.
" Give him the ring Felicity." Her father ordered.
She was crying uncontrollably now and was trembling as she lifted her hand.
" Felicity, give him the ring." Her father repeated.
She removed the ring that meant so much t her and held it out to William.
" Your ring Colonel." She wept.
He took it emotionlessly and walked out of the kitchen hurriedly. She stood in the kitchen while her father tried comforting her.
" No!" She finally cried running out of the kitchen. She rushed out of the house as he was getting on his horse.
" William please don't go! I'll elope with you I-I'll do anything!" She pleaded
He looked at her before he got on his horse. He kissed her passionately and held her for a minute.
" I love you, don't forget me," And with that he mounted his horse and rode off.
Felicity broke into sobs and collapsed to the ground. He was gone.
