The Matching of Sarah Collins

Natalie Holly

Description

Sarah:

My community of Bradford has suffered significant losses due to an illness outbreak. The town council and our church pastor have decided to match and wed single women and men in the hopes of saving our rural farming community. Thankfully, I’m a widow and just over thirty, so the matching doesn’t involve me. With a job and a place to live, I’m enjoying my independence.

Chris and Jackson:

We’ve lost our wives, who were sisters, and some of our children. When approached about the matching, we agreed – but only if Sarah was our bride. Undoubtedly it will surprise her, but we’re also sure she is just what our family needs.

What’s Inside

T he following night, I found myself naked with my nose pressed in the corner for the offense of eavesdropping near the barn. I considered trying to plead my case with him but decided that would be a lost cause. After what felt like an eternity of standing in the corner, Jackson spoke, “Do you know why you are being punished ?”
I responded with the response that I had been practicing in my head. I knew he would ask. “I didn’t let you and Chris know I was at the barn door .”
“Exactly. If you had, the three of us could have had an adult conversation that would have prevented a misunderstanding and hurt feelings .”
And it was at that moment I understood my mistake. I had listened in on a conversation that was not my own and jumped to conclusions about how they felt. And while I may have been the topic of the conversation, I still needed to make my presence known. Despite my earlier justifications for my behavior and choices, I now understood I was in the wrong .
“Yes, sir. I am very sorry. I understand now that you have explained it to me. My behavior was childish and inexcusable.” I was sorry, but I also wanted to sound particularly contrite. No sense angering the man who was about to spank me .
“I am glad to hear it. Now come and lay yourself over the pillows .”
I turned to find a pile of pillows stacked up on the bed. And in his hand, Jackson was holding a leather strap. Instinctively, I took a step backwards. I had received my fair share of spankings since saying “I do” several weeks ago, but all of them had been delivered with a hand. And my pa had never hit me with a strap, on the rare occasions when I had earned a spanking. I felt genuinely frightened .
Recognizing the fear in my eyes, Jackson spoke softly at first. “You have nothing to fear. You will have a sore bottom for a couple of days, but you won’t be any worse for wear .”
“Can’t you just spank me with your hand?” I pleaded .
“Not this time. I want you to be reminded of this lesson every time you sit down for the next couple of days .”
I nodded my head in acceptance of my fate. Slowly I walked over to the bed. Jackson helped me to get into the desired position with my bottom set up as the prime target. It felt more humiliating than lying across his lap. I buried my face in the quilt, wishing to be anywhere but here .
“Remember, no moving, no covering your bottom and no screaming. I expect you to cry but no yelling. Do you understand ?”

Chapter 1

P a says that it is time for Bradford to move past the outbreak. He says that Bradford needs to start having babies.” Since starting work at the Bradford Mercantile four months ago, if I had learned one thing, it was that the only place that rivaled the Bradford Congregational Church for gossip was the Bradford Mercantile. And while I truly found no real interest in hearing the local gossip, as a salesclerk, it was part of my job to listen to the juicy bits of gossip that my customers wanted to get off their chests .
The sincerity in young Justine’s voice kept me from giggling at the notion of our town somehow producing babies. 1885 was a year of many wonders, but even Jules Verne, one of my favorite authors, had not imagined a world with a baby making machine .
“Pa says that since so many died in the outbreak, there aren’t many married couples left.” This was true. Nearly two thirds of Bradford, Pennsylvania’s population had died over the course of just three months. And due to fear over reigniting the outbreak, travel was largely forbidden .
“That’s sadly true.” My own husband had been one of the first to pass away, but he had been bedridden for nearly five years before that, so it wasn’t surprising. “I’m not sure what can be done about it,” I added .
“Well, Pa has a plan, Sarah. He has talked to the town council about it, and they agree. There is going to be a matching.” Now, I wouldn’t have taken the word of most eighteen-year-old girls, but as Justine was the pastor’s daughter, I knew her information would be largely accurate .
“What is a matching ?”
“Well, I am not a hundred percent sure, as I was eavesdropping from the other room,” she said with a sheepish grin on her face. “But I think the eligible girls are going to be matched up with the eligible gentlemen for marriage .”
“Really?” was all the response that I was able to make before our conversation was brought to a close by the arrival of Justine’s mother, Helen, one of my least favorite people in town .
“Really, what?” Helen asked with her usual bluntness when it came to joining in other people’s conversations .
“I was just asking Justine if it was really true that she is making her special pecan pie for the Harvest potluck. I love her pie so much .”
“Yes, she is very talented. She will make a fine wife someday soon,” Helen said .
And as Justine was a homely girl with a serious overbite and no beau, this was all the confirmation I needed, to believe that indeed there was a matching in the works. I was never so glad to be a thirty-four-year-old, childless widow. Surely, I would not be considered ‘eligible’. I would definitely not be considered a good bet for repopulating Bradford. And most importantly I had no interest in marriage .
“But be sure not to eat too much pie, Sarah dear. You don’t want to lose your waistline.” This was her parting jab as she escorted Justine from the store. Now, I knew I was not what many people considered to be a quintessential beauty. I had a pretty face with large green eyes and long brown hair, but my large breasts and ample backside had a tendency to make me look fat .
Ah well, no sense letting Helen get under my skin. Luckily, another customer needed my attention giving me no more time to waste thinking about my figure or arranged marriages .

I didn’t need to wait long for confirmation of Justine’s information as Pastor Johnson announced the matching the following day during the church service. “Ladies and gentlemen, I th
