Saturday Snippet: He Dropped the Barrel


The following snippet is from my book, 
Millwright's Daughter



            Kit’s focus remained on Joseph Wells who now stood, his arms akimbo, as the man glared at him. He dropped the barrel into the wagon back and walked it in place to ride solidly along with the rest of his load.”
            “I’m not paying you to talk to my niece.”
            Kit refused to let the bully of a millwright ruffle his confidence. He turned to Joseph with a smile. “No, you’re paying me to take a wagonload of eighty barrels of wheat and corn flour to the railyard in Oak Hill to go out on this evening’s train. Even with stopping partway to rest the mules and get something to eat after I get across the covered bridge, I’ll arrive there in plenty of time.”
