Lidia smiled but she'd been taught not to enter anyone bedroom. If she did she get whopped by her brothers. "Thankie, me gonna go outside an see ta ruckus." Lidia had met with the fortune teller who told her she fly on the clouds; have a long prosperous life; and marry a man of meager means. The farmer's daughter was happy with her fortune and watched in wonder at the performers.<br/><br/>A man approched her in his 30's he wore a bightly colored vest; brown pants with green patches on the knees; and bolo felt hat. He carried a worn fiddle and yellowed bow. The man began playing for her and Lidia danced a jig. The man laughed.<br/><br/>When he was done, the farmer's daughter, was brethless, "May me play for ya?"<br/><br/>The man gave the the fiddle. She played a traditional lively song and people gather around her.  She smiled and bowed when she finished the song. The group cheered for her and clapped. Travelers and by standers tossed her money. The man picked up the coins with a felt, bolo hat, and gave her the coins. Lidia was astonished and filled her dress pockets.<br/>"Thankies"<br/>The man with the bolo hat invited her to play that evening. "I can't promise ya but me try. Ya music be better than ta village players. Thankies, sir."<br/>Lidia have him back the fiddle and bow.<br/><br/>She saw it was nearing noon by the shadow of her body. She ran to the inn and saw people heading into the inn for lunch. She saw more people registering at the table the Lore Mistress was seated.<br/>Lidia skipped to the Lore Mistress and held out two handfuls of silver coins., "Pardon me, Lore Mistess, 'ow much me owe ya fur ta room an food? A man allowed me to play 'es fiddle and me gots coins. I ain't ever knowed people throw coins fur play'n."
