The soldier explains how powerful the Queen is and how she uses her power over others to gain what she wants. He also talks about the soldiers that do her bidding.

A Place to Remember When I was sixteen years of age, my Gram, Aunt Jamie, and I went to Scotland. We visited many places, such as Edinburgh, Sterling, and Dumfries. We also visited Arundel, Windsor, and London in England. The most exciting part of our trip was when we went and saw the house my Grandad born in and the family house.

As the hours ticked by, the work progressively got easier. The piles grew as more of the bigger items brought out were broken down. Mary and I remained paired, finding more scraps within the factory and the area outside of it. Mary -- jokingly -- mentioned Sergeant Wells taking a liking to Mama, for he hadn't left her side as they went along. I hadn't seen much of Alexander, simply glimpses here and there. When the time for lunch arrived, ladies -- dressed in their best -- from the small town over
