Elizabeth-Jane

Mr Chad was drunk while sojourning with his wife and his month old Elizabeth-jane. They got to a tent where travellers buy what they want and sell what they have. Mr Chad out of his mind place sales on his wife and sold her to a sailor who was with other sojourners. Susan ( Mr Chad's wife) cried to his husband to get back to his senses but he insisted so susan and her child left with the sailor.

The following morning after he regain his sense, he asked people around about his wife and daughter's whereabout,they mock him and told him all that happened the previous night when he was drunk. No one have ever seen the sailor before. Mr Chad went looking for his wife and child but he couldn't find them so he gave up. He went to a church and vowed not to ever drink again for he has lost a great thing that cannot be regained.Mr Chad started a new life,he went to another town called Tanzbridge and start a new life for himself.

Eighteen years later, susan and Elizabeth-Jane came to the spot where Mr Chad sold them out, ask of him and were told by one woman that the man said if incase anyone came asking of him that she should tell them he had sojourn to Tanzbridge. Susan and her daughter went to Tanzbridge to see if Mr Chad still live there. When they got to the town, susan wasn't in a rush to find Mr Chad,she tried to make her findings slowly.

Mr Chad on the other hand was a very popular known merchant and the high chief is all the merchant in the town. There was an annual event which make people in the town close their shops and stores to attend which also involve Me Chad to be around. Elizabeth-Jane overheard two men talking of the event and make mention of Mr Chad, she told her mum and they both attended. They saw Mr Chad sitting in the most expensive and big chair among the spectators. Susan sensed that Mr Chad must be a rich man now and it will be hard to walk up to him in his current position.

The following day, Susan wrote a letter addressed to Mr Chad and gave it to Elizabeth-Jane. Elizabeth-Jane went to Me Chad's house not too far from the motel they lounge,she gave the letter to Mr Chad. When he read the letter, he was touched because he had thought his wife and daughter were dead. He reply Susan's letter and told her in it to meet him at a restaurant downtown. When they met, they both expressed themselves and Mr Chad proposed a new marriage.

In two months they got married,susan and Elizabeth-Jane moved in with Mr Chad and they all live happily together until two years later when Susan fell sick,on her sick bed she requested for a pen and paper,she wrote a letter addressed to Mr Chad but to be open on the day Elizabeth-Jane get married and that night she died.

Two weeks after Susan's burial, Mr Chad couldn't hold till Elizabeth-Jane's marriage so he opened the letter and was surprised to know that Elizabeth-Jane isn't his own Elizabeth-Jane,that his daughter died a year after he sold them out and she named her child after Elizabeth-Jane. Mr Chad was depressed that he had no child and that he will die childless. He started drinking again that on an unfortunately one day,he was so drunk that he stab himself to death. All his properties were willed to Elizabeth-Jane.
