Every day it was getting harder to live and Allie just prayed to her heavenly father in her mind to give her strength to continue without being caught She must continue to help the needy and now her grandparents on her dad side of the family had to move in with her parents. Her grandmother had no room for her antique treadle sewing machine that had not been turned into a electric machine yet so Allie's parents moved it to the shed. Her mother made the comment that she thought there was more stuff then what was in the shed and Allie changed the subject very quickly.
Allie knew eventually she would have to come clean with her parents. By then Allie and her best friend Beth was having to pay to go to school. They knew if the cost continue to raise that there were be no way. That gave Allie the excuse to get rid of some of the family's other belongings. She gathered up the antique washing stand and the antique sewing machine and actually she took them to the cave. Her grandmother could use the sewing machine to mend the people's clothing on it and the antique washing stand she just loved with the blue boy pitcher and bowl set.
