Jake's Secret

"My father and brothers are going to kill you," Sabrina said soberly. "Will you please listen to me? I am not Charity Davis. My name is Sabrina Masters. Charity quit her job and left town last week, and my father volunteered me to replace her. That is the truth, and if you don't believe me, then don't expect me to save you when Papa comes. I won't do it! And I'll give you a warning of my own. No one but Papa has ever dared to spank me. You lay a hand on me again, and I'll personally horsewhip you before Papa hangs you!"
