“Grace   get   down   here   now!”   Mr.Crick   yelled.  

Oh   no   I   had slept in. I ran down the stairs and 

when I got there Mr. and Mrs. Crick were smiling at 

me.” Mr.Crick said. 

“Grace we are now allowing you to go run Aron's 

me and   Mary have decided you should get out of 

the house and   get some fresh air. But there are a 

few rules you can not talk to anyone and you can 

only go to places we say” Mr.Crick said.

Finally a trip out of the house I don’t think I have been out of the house 

since I was 9. I then started off with my normal chores Washing the The 

dresses and suits for Mr. and Mrs. Crick.

Then it came time to go.”Now we need you to go get food and get me a 

newspaper.”Mr. Crick said.

“What paper   sir?”I asked him. He told me the guy in the paper stand 

would give me the right kind.

So I ran down to the market got everything he wanted .Then it was time 

for the newspaper. Now when I was younger, Mrs. Crick   taught me to 

read she said it was a good thing to learn in life.

When I went to go get the paper I read it on my way 

back .It talked about the soldiers a few courts and 

some other things that really interested me.

“I am back   with the food and the paper” I said as I 

entered the door. So I unpacked the bags and started 

making dinner.I made beef stew and a apple pie. I 

listened to the stew waking up and coming to life. But 

like usual I got what ever was not eaten which was half 

a cup of stew and a slice of pie while I ate I felt the 

warm stew against the roof of my mouth .Now I am 

use to this I guess I get better treatment than other 

maids or slaves how ever you want to call it. They all 

feel the same.

So I went upstairs went to bed and read 1,000 more 

newspapers thinking about all the cool things I had read 

and how I needed to find more ways to read more things 

like that I remember the things I read in the paper how 

people were mad at the soldiers for invading on us , 

about John adams and a bunch of other politicians. 

 I did not know what a politician was so I got up walked 

over to the bookshelf got out the dictionary searched up 

politician.Which is apparently something to do with 

government so I walked   back to bed and read all 

through the night till I fell asleep dreaming of all the 

things I read and listening to the sound of soldiers 

patrolling and the wind in the trees. I am the smartest 

girl in the world.

Sunday, February 22nd , 1770

    It was my day off so   asked   Mr. Crick if I could 

go to town he said only to walk around you are not to 

read or talk to anyone. Now usually I would listen but I 

was so intrigued to continue reading the papers but 

when I was heading back from walking around I was 

reading the paper and   I bumped into John Adams I had 

read   about him in the papers he was a politician what 

ever that is but he did not just keep on walking he 

completely turned and he asked me “what are you doing 

reading in the streets? Someones going to run you over 

go to a library!”but it was already getting late so I 

decided to hand him the paper as a gift then I ran home. 

When I got there it was already six o’clock .
