Cap never expected to find Maria on the swing after dark. especially with a half empty bottle of gin.
" hello" she smiled with her head resting in the rope.
"You been drinking" no words came but a animated nod did.
" never seen you so jolly. Having fun? Mind if I join you."
"Please do." He was glad he made this swing so long. But their thighs and arms were snugly touching.
"Give me that, girl. Was this full when you started?" Cap asked then took a heavy sip.
"Yes sir it sure was. Johnny with with that half witted McCoy today. So I went to the crap shake in the woods he calls a distillery and took the fullest one."
" my ,my how spiteful of you."
"I woke hi to him humping the girl on the bed next to me." Cap was not please to hear this.
"what did he do? Did he touch you Maria?"
"Oh lord no,why would he want to do that? I Ain't every going to pray for that idiot boy no more."
"You tell my pa yet? The girl let a sloppy laugh
"You think it would be this quite?"
The hiccups started " let's get you to bed"
She half shook her head but that made the hiccups turn to retching.
" You'll stay with the little girls they won't bring any harm" taking her more in his arms then on her own feet. Slightly enjoying the warm given off.

The next morning cap was ten times as mad when he saw johnsy. The dumb man did not make it down the the stairs be for cap got to him.
He had him on the ground in a headlock. " you get you dick wet with in a mile of Maria again I will cut it off."
"Get off me." They when roughing each other up for awhile.
"What is going on" their mother saw the seriousness in caps eyes.
"This sinful boy we call kin, violated Maria."
"I didn't touch her"
"fucking a Harlot in the same bed is a violation! She is a lady, you risk her reputation. Goof god not everyone has loose morals like you."
Lavicy was angered at this disgusting behavior.
"I want you to start saying at you own cabin. If you are such a grown man you don't need to be living here. But the dumb girl will be staying here. In a different room. Maria does so much for this family! Don't go ruining her chance at marriage."
Cap let go not expecting to hear things like that, it was logical but he focused more on the fact he did such a thing close to Her.
