- 19th century. Cardiff. A woman from a very humble family (I still don’t know her name, curiously enough), who eats thanks to fishery. She inherits her parents’ house and lives alone. At some point during her youth (around 20) she meets a Norwegian merchant sailor who usually travels from Norway (Bergen in particular) to Cardiff. They fall in love. There are long periods of separation during which the feelings of emptiness and loneliness become unbearable. Jan (the sailor, of course he is “H” again) loves the sea with a passion. The woman can’t even think of asking him to quit (besides, it is his livelihood). The time they spend together is very happy, and they have a daughter, Elisabeth, though it seems they never got married due to religious issues. Regrettably, Elisabeth dies at a very young age (around 12, of scarlet fever). Later in time, they decide to leave Cardiff and move to Norway, with Jan’s family. Jan now works at the dockyards. The woman dies shortly after in a premature way, I reckon she was over 40 years old. Jan was by her side until the very end.
- At the end of 19th century, somewhere near Colorado mountains, in the United States of America, there lives Tom, a blonde boy whose family own a ranch and work breeding cattle. His elder brother is murdered supposedly by the Indians, shortly after the father dies of a disease. His elder sister takes charge of the ranch, despite the fact he is the one who should assume that responsibility (as he is the next “man of the house”, there is another brother, but he is only 10 years old). He works a little but spends a lot of time with a “friend” who is anything but a good influence. He gets him a work as a stagecoach bodyguard and both commit themselves to that. They spend a lot of time playing poker, drinking in the canteen… in sum, lazing around. They get in trouble. It is very likely that Tom dies young, and it looks like it was for getting into trouble with the Indians… though this I don’t know for sure yet.
