There was a shoot-out in the playroom. The boys, all brandishing pistols, found places to hide behind the furniture. Littlest Brother threw himself into an office swivel chair, and crouched behind the chair’s high back. However, the force of the impact caused the chair to swivel, exposing him to the others. There was a spatter of shots. As Littlest Brother lay on the ground, he gasped out,
“The chair—it turned on me!”

The handmaiden is a writer, bibliophile, home-school teacher, student of herbal medicine, and sometimes philosopher. She has a love-hate relationship with her heirloom garden, blares Renaissance and Baroque music, reads poetry, and bores her family with lengthy monologues on health and education. The Handmaiden lives in the deep, deep south with her parents and six siblings. They sing and dance and laugh and talk and argue (ahem, discuss).
