Comment from Patty Palmer
Poor little rich girl back in the days of arranged marriages. Daughters were married off for larger herds of cattle or more land to make their plots bigger. The poor girl's feelings didn't usually enter into the decision unless their father had a heart. Good luck with the contest.

You described the dilemma of a young woman's heart in times past when marriages were arranged and based entirely on the social rank and wealth. Best wishes in the contest!

Those were the days when women were chattel...All parents thought of was what a girl could bring in the way of help and money. Thank God things are different now!

Comment from Hitcher
Not a great period in history to live if it was love a young lady was seeking when it came to marriage. Saying that that kind of thing still exists in certain cultures today. Nice little story/flash for the contest friend, good luck!

Comment from victor 66
A very interesting take on matchmaking from a much earlier time. One has to ask themselves, is the young lady in question selfish and unkind towards the acreage's inhabitants? Good luck.

You are most welcome, Zanya.
Comment from Wendy G
Interesting and different, because it also provides a social comment on the times - and the relationships, and differing views on marriage by father and daughter, and male and female. Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image for your story.
-You wrote a very good one.
-A very good opening, followed
by good dialogue between
father and daughter.
-I'm sure at that time, whatever
the bride had for a dowry was
to her benefit, but of course,
she "ached for love."
-A good entry; good luck.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Of course during that time, land holdings meant power. However, I believe like Lady Elise, though, it meant little then. You did a good job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. Your story has good pacing and is interesting. Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan
I would add a comma in first sentence after the word war.
