THE LIGHTHOUSE
palace pronounced pails, by the Scottish people who lived in a miner's rows. Tommy
McGee moved into one these houses, with his newly wedded wife, Bessie. Tommy

Was employed by the coal mining industry. He worked down the pits, underground Digging coal.

Bessie worked in the same mine, but above ground.


"Let's lift you over the step."

He picked his bride up and carried her into their new home. A miner's house. If he left his

Job, in the pits, he had to vacate the premises. It was their wedding night. He put her Down on the stone floor, leading into the two roomed house. One room had two chairs by A large fire place with a high mantle shelf.
Bessie had black leaded iron nest and a fire was made up ready to put a match to it. Her two brown leather chairs and dining suite looked real elegant. She had made two rag rugs,
and she placed one at the fire place, and one between the sideboard and the dining table.

The rugs would have to do until she could afford some wax-cloth.
They had some supper before they retired to their wedding bed. A set in bed against the wall with a curtain drawn across for privacy and, to hide the bed when not in use. He had the day off for his wedding, but he would be back down the pits in the morning. Before putting the light out to join him, she looked around the room a surge of pride had
come over her. This was hers and Tommy's house, and in another few months, she patted her belly, this little one would be joining them soon.
