Comment from Maureen's Pen

Excellent

Barbara I enjoyed this chapter as it filled in a lot of the history for the house. You really allowed the reader to get the sense of the scene, the relations and age of the house and land.

For me it really gives great depth for the reader to sink into.
I thought you did a great job penning this and holding my attention.

Thanks for sharing.
Maureen

silver-plated doorknobs - add hyphen
I understand emotions still run deep among many in the South over the Civil War - you convey that effectively
Good dialogue throughout - I like the believable and warm scene with the ladies :-) Brooke

I wondered about that hyphen. I still get confused with hyphens and passed and past. I discovered in my last post so are many reviewers. It seemed each review changed it. Thank you for the kind review and eagle eye. I appreciate the catch.

When you have two words that join together to make an adjective before the noun, you add the hyphen - silver-plated knob - but if the words come after the noun, you don't use the hyphen - The knob was silver plated.
Passed is a verb - he passed the test, she passed the potatoes, we passed the lake on your drive
past is a noun, an adjective or an adverb
Don't live in the past.
He believes in past lives.
Drive past the lake to get to the church. :-)
