53-caliber, ball weighed just over the maximum recommended charge of 215 grains of powder.The saloon was noisy and boisterous when we arrived. The noi...se of conversation and laughter, as well as the smell of tobacco smoke and stale beer spilled out of the swinging doors when we opened them. While I’d had Old Bourbon County whiskey before, compliments of Dad, I’d never been in a saloon before. Everything I knew about saloons was what I heard from my dad and brothers, although never when Mom was. I told her the whole earlier incident & told her that I wanted to have sex with her then & there. I told her that those intimating looks of her had made it worse & I would not leave without fucking her. I noticed she was about to raise a alarm & run away from the kitchen, but reflex I slapped her & slapped her hard & she was just shaken, I caught hold of her both her hands behind her back & kissed her hard on her lips, she was protesting but I was chewing her lips by now, I released her from. " Mum, stop match-making. I hardly know her although what I do know I like a lot." Sorry, darling," Mary smiled. "It's just that this is the first time I've seen you remotely interested in a girl." OK, Mum, but still don't try to marry me off. As you say, I'm not even twenty for three years."Mary looked contrite. "Sorry, Harry. I'm being silly."Harry hugged her. "Yes, Mum, you are but I love you." And you're not going to admit anything," thought Mary, "but you're pretty smitten."The Easter. You need to settle on your life’s work. No woman is going to put up with a ne’er-do-well son. I know you’re still young and you want to enjoy what remains of your youth, but you are going to be 20 years old soon. When I was 20 I had a wife and child already and was working full time while I went to college nights. You have it much easier than I did and than a lot of people do. You need to choose what to do with your life. That decision will help you find the right woman. Find one who will.
