Now Clara, the oldest sister, warn't born the way she ended up. She were a sweet young'n but as with a lot of peoples, love-unfulfilled caused a bump in her life what ended up causing her to leave the road and crash against the sidewalls of the ditches. Her fella what caused all this were from out of town, a traveling salesman, what they called back then, a drummer. Clara were a pretty young thing and this drummer fella swept her off her feet and she married him. And they was happy, for about a year. Then he got the wandering feets and next thing the townsfolk knowed he were gone--never to be heard from again. That done Clara in. She warn't never the same. It turned her in to what they call a tyrant, in fact, some folks said she were a regular Catherine the Great, who were one of them queens of Russia. But them Russians didn't call her queen; they called her a tzarina. Next: Marguerite a.k.a Margaret.
