Agnes, Sweet and Learned

The youngest Chandler girl were Agnes. From the very start she were a reader. She read ever thing she could get her hands on. And when she went off to the university she took up learning more about books and them what wrote 'em. She even went over to London in England to learn about them what was writing over there. She married a local boy named Walter and they was deep in love when he were called up and sent to WW I. He went to Europe too. But he didn't come back. He were buried somewheres in France. Agnes seemed to stand up pretty well to all this and went on with her reading and started teaching local Harper kids to read. Ever thing went good with her till way in the late 50's. That's when Walter come back to be with her--in her mind don't you know? It may have been 'cause she were real sick with cancer, but anyway as far as Agnes were concerned he were back. They even went on trips together, back to place they went before he were taken away. I reckon they's worst ways to spend your last year on earth.
