Chapter+11

=Period 2= Lily barely saw June and August anymore because of them still mourning after their loss of May. The only timeLily would see June would be when Neil would come over and then June and Neil would go for long rides through the countryside. Lily noticed a change in Zach's attitude as he got more heated, charged, and angry. For dinner one night the dessert was Lily and August's favorite, Coke and Peanuts. August put MAy's suicide letter in "the deep crevice of Our Lady's neck." Lily decided she missed having her own room and moved back into the honey hosue. August explained to Lily about what Mary Day and what it's all about. Neil came inside and proposed to June and June (finally!) accepted. --alexa halas--

In this chapter Zach and Neil carried the Lady of Chains statue to the Honey House. The story of Our Lady of Chains was going to be reeneacted. All of the sisters sat around in a circle sourrounding the statue. June played songs on her cello while August told the story from start to finish about the black Virgin Mary. Lily couldnt stand seeing it being wrapped in chains but she put it through her head that it was only a reenactment. Lily and Zach went alone to the pond where they kissed. She finally had her fist kiss. Alex Dalasio = = = = =Period 6/7=

Lily walks in to The Daughters, Zach, Neil, Rosaleen, June and August, sitting around on the mowed grass. As the daughters were fussing over Lily, Lunelle asked Lily if she wanted her to make her a hat of her own. At hearing this Lily was really excited and happy because she'd always wanted one. Later the 'Mary Day program' was underway.They first passed around cake and ate it, symbolizing the body of the Blessed Mother. As each individual fed the person next to them, June ended up feeding Lily and so when she did, she apologized for being mean to her when she first came. After this, they went on with the ceremony and reenacted the story of Our Lady of Chains and place the statue in the honey house. Lily having been overwhelmed, walked out and Zach went after her holding her hand. Together they went down to the river and had their first kiss. -Missy
