I am Gideon: Chapter #19

The bunkhouse on Kibbler’s plantation was not as nice as Mrs. Baxter’s boarding House.  It was a bit chilly, a bit rundown, and I was again sharing space, but there were four of us in a bunkhouse built for twelve, so all of us got a bottom bunk and a bit of privacy.  There were thick, coarse blankets, and a big wood stove at one end which provided some heat.  I was the last person hired, so I was farthest from the fire.  I remedied that by exchanging my bottom bunk for the top, and fared better as the cold settled in.
