Some people think they were not written by Shakespeare but by another man of the same name . I have read some of them because our school teacher says everybody ought to read them , but I did not care much for them . There are some things in them I can not understand . I like the stories of Valeria H. Montague in the Family Guide ever so much better . They are more exciting and truer to life . Romeo and Juliet was one of the plays I read . It was very sad . Juliet dies and I do n't like stories where people die . I like it better when they all get married especially to dukes and earls . Shakespeare himself was married to Anne Hatheway . They are both dead now . They have been dead a good while . He was a very famous man . FELICITY KING . -LRB- PETER , MODESTLY : `` I do n't know much about Shakespeare myself but I 've got a book of his plays that belonged to my Aunt Jane , and I guess I 'll have to tackle him as soon as I finish with the Bible . '' -RRB- THE STORY OF AN ELOPEMENT FROM CHURCH This is a true story . It happened in Markdale to an uncle of my mothers . He wanted to marry Miss Jemima Parr . Felicity says Jemima is not a romantic name for a heroin of a story but I cant help it in this case because it is a true story and her name realy was Jemima . My mothers uncle was named Thomas Taylor .
He was poor at that time and so the father of Miss Jemima XXXXX did not want him for a soninlaw and told him he was not to come near the house or he would set the dog on him .
