The following is a story that Fay told me (Sherry) during an oral history interview. I thought that it might be a good one to use since Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

Speaking of her grandmother Jane Panting Bell she says:"She told me one time about when she and grandpa (Charles Morris Bell) were going together and they went to a dance. And she said, "And do you know that he danced with that girl and he swung her so high you could see her ankle." She said it made her so mad and she said, "Why, Morris was just flirting with her terrible and so when she come and sat down, I just squiggled over by her and I pulled the cork out of her bustle. I fixed her, I did. She had to leave that dance and go home."

Courtship is certainly different now days.

The photo is of Grandma Jane at about the time she told Fay the story.
