“The law known as Marchetta, or Marquette, compelled newly married women to a most dishonorable servitude. They were regarded as the rightful prey of the Feudal Lord from one to three days after their marriage, and from this custom the eldest son of the serf was held as the son of the Lord.... Marquette was claimed by the Lord's Spiritual, as well as by the Lord's Temporal. The Church, indeed, was the bulwark of this base feudal claim.” WellsSpiritualLawThreeChurchKnownLordAtheismSonMarriedClaimsPositive AtheismCustomsCompelledPreyServitudeMarried WomenEldestDishonorableSerfsEldest Son Author:Matilda Joslyn Gage

“I often saw weary little women coming to the table after most exhausting labors, and large, bumptious husbands spreading out their hands and thanking the Lord for the meals that the dear women had prepared, as if the whole came down like manna from heaven. So I preached a sermon in the blessing I gave. You will notice that it has three heresies in it: Heavenly Father and Mother, make us thankful for all the blessings of this life, and make us ever mindful of the patient hands that oft in weariness spread our tables and prepare our daily food.

“When I was a kid, I lived in this small town way out in the country. We had three TV channels and one radio station. I couldn't even get my hands on good comic books. My aunt, who is a librarian, gave me Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House on the Prairie," and Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia." They were such incredible treasures to have in my somewhat mundane country life.” WayLittlesBookCountryHandsKidsThreeHouseLordTvsTownsIncrediblesRadioRingsTreasureComicStationsComic BookSmall TownAuntLibrarianMundanePrairieChroniclesNarniaRadio StationsLauraCountry LifeWilderLittle House On The Prairie Author:Nick Offerman
