Absalom drove his ma into Dreamville, and as they drove in they both noticed the new establishment in town. They also noticed three men entering the place. "I wonder what Le Chateau is, ma?"

"Maybe it�s another restaurant." She said as she climbed down.

But Simon had overheard her, "No ma�am. It�s a bordello."

"A bordello?" Dumbfounded Prudence stared at the building while Absalom started unloading the wagon.

"Yes ma�am, a bordello." Simon repeated.

"Javier, come out here son." Simon called. As Javier stepped out, Simon said, "We could use your help." Simon leaned the broom against the wall of the store and went to the wagon followed by his son. The three fellas carried their loads into the store while Prudence still stared at the hideous bordello. She didn�t like those places. Never had, never will.

Prudence had a great time with Steven at the picnic. He had won third place in the wood-chopping contest. She really felt good when she was around him. She wasn�t quite sure what he saw in her though. She wasn�t what anybody would call pretty, and many times she had wondered why he had asked her to the picnic and not somebody else. She figured it was because most of the unattached girls in town were much younger than him, but now with the bordello in town he might turn his attentions elsewhere. She didn�t like the thought of that. Well, there wasn�t anything she could do about it. She sighed, and then went to help unload the wagon.

After the wagon was unloaded, Prudence asked Simon if he had heard anything about the wedded couple. Were they expecting? She had heard rumors and someone had bought them a bassinet as a wedding present that she had delivered to Simon several weeks ago. Unfortunately, Simon had not heard one way or another. They would just have to wait and see.

"You know Prudence if your ever in town on Thursday nights you might want to come out to the Grand Square Ranch, that�s Caller Bob�s place. They�re going to be having square dancin�."

"But I don�t know how to square dance." Prudence said as she wondered why Simon was telling her this.

"They�re having square dancin� lessons, too, and I know Steven is going to volunteer to help the students." He grinned at his mischievous plan to get the two together more.

While Javier and Absalom were outside discussing the bordello, Javier also mentioned the square dancing lessons that were going to be taking place.

"You should come by Caller Bob�s some time when you�re in town on a Thursday for square dancin� lessons. It�s going to be fun, and it starts June 22. I know Kathleen is going to be taking lessons." Javier said as he tried to coax Absalom in to coming. He knew Absalom didn�t know how to square dance, but he wanted someone else there around his own age. Javier was going to volunteer because Lilly was signing up to learn how to square dance.

"I�ll try to come when we are in town." Anywhere Kathleen was going to be, Absalom wanted to be there, too.
