The Amish
Martha Yoder made her cousins hold her hands as they walked up to the school, this was a strange new place. After recieving Rebecca & Nico's letters, their parents had decided to send Elisha and Elijah to the school. Their father's brother had decided that his own daughter, Martha, should attend as well.
Nicodemus and Rebecca were happily awaiting their family's arrival.
"Martha!" Rebecca cried, happily, as she ran to hug her cousin and best friend.
"Becky, act you age," Nico warned, sternly. The girls straightened up, bu continued to chatter.
Ben, as Elisha was called, which was short for his middle name, and Eli were happy to see their brother, and took in their surrounding with wide open eyes, amazed by everything new.
Nico and Becky showed their family around, and took them to their rooms. Instead of sharing with Kitty and Theresa, Becky was now sharing a room with Martha, which suited her fine. She was not used to gils walking arund in various states of undress, and the way these girls talked shocked Becky.
Ben and Eli were also to share a room, though Nico continued to share a room with Bobby and John, for the time being. After everybody was settled in, Martha and Becky sat down in the rec room with their sewing baskets, while Nico made a fire, and the twins worked dutifully at memorizing Scripture verses. And, for an hour at least, it was like they were home on the farm.
