THE DATE
by Heidi
It was Fridayevening. First Adam Cartwright had taken an extended
bath and
washed himself from to to toe. After that he put on his best clothes.
While he
was standing front of the mirror to comb his hair his younger brothers
Hoss and
Little Joe Cartwright came in.
"Hoss, is our big borther going out?", asked Little Joe.
"So to see and to smell yes. Don't you feel sorry for the lady in
question?", was the counter-question of Hoss.
"Sure do. Adam, who is the victim where you go out with?", Little
Joe wanted to know.
"That is for you a question and for me an answer", Adam reacted
quick-witted.
'Well, just let them think and say what they want. I havea date
with Agnes
Wilcox and they with nobody. Besides that, I am more handsome than
those two
mules together. And then I actually praise them yet and I insult the
animals',
thought Adam. He left his brothers behind and went downstairs.
In the living room the father of Adam, Ben, was reading the
newspaper when
his eldest son came down the stairs.
"Well Adam, the lady who goes out with you tonight is certainly a
stroke of luck", Ben complimented his son.
"I have thé stroke of luck", Adam reacted before he went away.
Riding on Sport Adam came after a while in
"Are you coming Miss Wilcox?", he asked galant.
"Of course Mr Cartwright. I always come with you", Agnes answered
smiling.
Together they walked to the theatre where Adam obtained the the
access
cards from his insidepocket.
"I knew that you love to go to the theatre therefore for this
reason I
decided to surprise you with it", said Adam when they sat in their
balcony.
Agnes blushed and looked timidly to the ground.
When the play was busy Adam looked from time to time at his
conquest and he
knew that wasn't allowed to let this capture no longer. Agnes thought
the same
and crawled closer to Adam.
After the play Adam brought Agnes nicely home.
"Adam, thank you hartly for this fine evening. We must repeat it
rapidly again", said Agnes.
"Gladly done. Goodnight miss Wilcox", said Adam.
He looked at how she ran to the door and afterwards he got on his
horse to
home also.
Arrived at home said Adam to his younger brothers, "I had a great
evening with my lady. We had the very best seats in the theatre. That
you two
are those culture barbarians I cannot help."
With that last remark Adam had done it at his brothers but he
allowed to
precede them what they were and went to his bedroom to dream further
concerning
his Agnes.
