Portland Maine--Afternoon
Portland Museum
Flossy Beverly Grady's granny boot heels clicked slowly, leisurely on the wooden floor of the cool Portland Maine Museum. Her eyes fell upon one painting after another trying to push out the terrible events of the past month. President Garfield had been shot by a disgruntled politician on July 2 and had weeks earlier returned to his New England home where he lay dying from the wounds.
The entire nation mourned and even the death of outlaw Billy the Kid in Fort Summer, shot by Pat Garrett, did not ease everyone's distraught feelings. Flossy ignored politicians and politics mostly. Politicians and politics rarely helped her. They stifled woman’s suffrage even though women pushed hard for change. For Flossy, riding her bicycle, painting and dreaming of finding a man to love held center stage.
But, everyone needed a distraction during times like these; so her mom dragged the family to the Portland Maine Museum.
Countless statues, drawings, weavings, paintings, local and foreign exhibits tugged at Flossy's emotions. Then suddenly, as she walked-ran, Flossy Grady's granny boot heels clicked rapidly on the wooden floor of the cool Portland Maine Museum and her eyes opened wide. She pointed at a painting. That's it! That's exactly how I feel.
Other patrons, families, and couples, in the Portland Maine Museum, startled, turned and looked at Flossy in her blue jacket and black blouse and floor-length skirt. Around her neck was a white cameo on a black band. She didn't look like the girl who'd cause trouble in a museum of all places. Flossy Grady’s plain face and upturned pixie nose, small ears almost matched the redhead girl in the painting, except she had a round face and ruddy cheeks.
Flossy wore her brunette hair pulled toward the front, in the fashionable curled and crimped style wrapped around the front top of her head. Her small blue eyes held a hopeful look.
Her family; mom, Hope Grady and dad, Riley Grady, followed their daughter's enthusiasm to the picture of three young women standing on a beach. Two of the girls held fish baskets; another, the tallest, held a long pole attached to a small fishing net. The black hair girl holding a fish basket, stood beside the tallest, a brunette also facing the shorter redhead girl holding her own yellow basket.
All the girls wore scarfs, the redhead and brunette, blue and the girl on the far left end of the picture wore black. They all wore white aprons, and blue blouses, their sleeves pushed up above their elbows. Behind the two girls facing the redhead towered a hillside tall like an impassible mountain, though the three girls must have had some path around it.
Flossy pointed. "Yes. She's young too. All their skirts don't drop pass their mid-calves. She's trying to explain to the other two; there no dating prospects. Explaining to them how nice and sweet their caged words feel to a single girl. She even looks slightly overweight like me. See, mom, dad, the redhead positioned one hand on her hips trying to explain the situation.
She's getting a bit angry possibly. I can just hear the other two girls facing her speaking of being patient and a man will come by. Reassuring the redhead how they found love in Portland Maine. Yes. I live for days like these when life falls into place. I'm so glad you suggested we visit the Portland Maine Museum, mom.
Her mom, Hope scrutinized the painting carefully. Does look like an argument afoot, Riley.
