She nodded weakly.  "Yes, ma'am.  I was liking working here, but Jenny and I were talking and about religion and how my parents would have wanted me to be honest with the people here being so nice hiring me to work here and all.  But I just knew it would mean I would have to leave.  And I was right."  She felt the tears starting to fall again.

"I will have to go back to living as I was before.  But I just had to be honest with Mr. Appleton and Jenny and all of you all."  She was too sad and miserable about having to go back to the streets.  Even though she had not been a girl here on the farm, not yet, just the truth of it, it already felt like a punch in the belly thinking that she couldn't live honestly yet.
