But her maidenhood could not last forever, and one morning Rosy was lured onto Ronalee's bakkie, and the poor girl was transported over the dusty roads to meet her lover. I fervently hoped that the intended lover would be a handsome lad, although Rosy was as ugly as sin, but at least she couldn't see herself, and Loverboy's lust would hopefully dull the shock of his first sight of his intended bride, well, I really hoped so!There was no news for about two weeks, as we were all so busy renovating and establishing our gardens, but I spoke to Ronalee one morning when she passed on her way to Sheila for milk. Sheila now had a sizeable herd, and supplied a lot of people with milk.
I was excited to learn how Rosy's sojourn with her loverboy went, but was informed by Ronalee that it did not go well at all! The boar was apparently quite small, and as Rosy was one of the most enormous pigs ever, the poor lad could not reach the desired spot, and by the end of the second day they were both highly frustrated, and they feared for the boar's life, as Rosy had become very violent, and intent on trying to kill her non performing lover! It was plainly a question of the poor girl being stark raving mad at not having the fun she wanted!
Ronalee decided to fetch her back, the owner of the boar not happy with the guest, so she took two of Gary's helpers, but they were useless against Rosy's wrath, as she was by now so mad that she was ready to kill anything that stood between her and quenching her lust! As her teeth were long and yellow, and her temper violent, the help of the owner was called in, but Rosy was not going anywhere, and a hefty tussle ensued when they tried to get her up the ramp and onto the bakkie, leaving them running for cover and breathless, and Rosy triumphant!
Then Ronalee, the only one still allowed near the enraged dame tied first a rope around Rosy's neck, and then, while the helpers held Rosy fast, she tied a yellow bandanna over the pig;s eyes, hoping that nor being able to see, the pig would calm down enough so they could lead her down the road and home, as getting her onto the bakkie seemed an impossible task.
But Poor Rosy, sensing that this lot was out on separating her from her lover, even if she hated him by now, was not in any mood to co-operate, and the screams that cleaved the morning air was according to Ronalee so intense that it was enough to make the faint hearted run for the safety of their homes!
But she had to get home, and between the harassed helpers, and a steaming Ronalee, they managed to drag the complaining lady down the dirt roads, the yellow bandanna fluttering gaily in the Haarlem breeze, while the Haarlem wits made some fittingly saucy remarks!
