She Plots Her Future

Raven has the clipper ship blues As her captain turns toward the cape Leaving her once again in the family way Her parents forgave her one bairn. Will they forgive two? At least I had this week, she says to herself. It is enough, he is more than enough. Goodbye my love, she tells his ship He has gone on to new adventures. Will she be ostracized, bullied, belittled? Maybe she could trick John Dunn into marrying her. He is a simple man, but would never beat her. She begins to plot her plight and the future.
