      Finding Work In America (A Clean Victorian Romance) - Joyce Melbourne

      Finding Work In America

      By

      Joyce Melbourne

      Copyright 2015 Classic Western Romances Presents

      Synopsis: A woman from Liverpool moves to America and to a pre-arranged job. The thing is – she doesn’t find out what the true purpose of the place where she works is until later, when an accident will change her life forever.

      Marybeth Weatherspoon, or Beth as her friends called her, sat on the divan by the window and contemplated her many options. Deciding what to do with her life from this point forward would require some thinking, most of which she barely felt qualified to do. She had just buried her mother the month before, she had no father or siblings, and the remaining relatives hadn’t spoken to her in years.

      Basically, she was alone, inexperienced and, Beth admitted, often gullible. Still, some measure of plan had to be laid out or she would just flit through the days and nights of her life aimlessly.

      She finished the last swallow of tea in her cup and returned it to the kitchen.

      I’ll go talk to the banker, she said aloud to only herself, a habit that had begun when her mother passed and left her alone in the house. "He’s given me good advice thus far, why not hear him out on what he thinks.

      Beth walked slowly through the streets of her fairly polished neighborhood toward the barrister’s office, taking the time to smell a rose, pet a dog, or chat with someone along the way. She was a friendly sort of person and rarely met a stranger. Some other women thought she was overly friendly, but it was her way, and that would probably never change. At least, not in the immediate future.

      I’d like to speak to Mr. Fields, she firmly told the receptionist. She had learned to deal with this particularly icy woman over the many months she and her mother had been visiting the attorney in preparation of her mother’s death. Beth had always dreaded the appointments, because they represented the ending of one life and the beginning of another - her mother’s and hers.

      The woman eyed her curiously for a moment.

      May I ask what this concerns? she finally said, although the old spinster knew exactly who Beth was and should be able to assume that it regarded the meager penance her mother had left the daughter after all the medical bills were paid. But the hag appeared to not even physically recognize Beth.

      No, you may not, Beth responded in an even more firm voice. Mr. Fields will see me if he isn’t busy, I’m sure. Could you please ask him, at least?

      The ice cube rose from her chair and swished her heavy skirt down the short hall to the back mahogany door and entered, closing it behind her as if Beth were going to snoop, which she probably would have done as it was a pastime of hers
