A Bride For Mr Fenster

Three sisters single in their 40s gather 'round the fire on a night of thunder to figure out which sister should marry Mr. Fenster, a widower in his 90s now. He proposed last week to all three of them and said he would marry one and provide a nice home for the other two. Mr. Fenster owns a farm down the road a mile or so. Worth a lot of money he buried a wife a year ago. He's mourned enough, he says, and wants to marry a nice lady who will make him happy. Mabel and Maude say Millie should be the bride. After all, she's the youngest of the three, can cook and clean and is young enough and strong enough to lift Mr. Fenster on and off. Millie says no way. Donal Mahoney
