GOING WEST

A week later, Rose and Molly were on a train headed west. Rose looked out the window watching the landscape change constantly. She constantly fingered the necklace. She vowed never to give it up or sell it no matter how bad things got.

Rose just continued to stare out the window during the day watching the landscape of America constantly change. She was simply amazed by it because she never saw anything other than buildings in Philadelphia.

Back in New York, Ruth Dewitt Bukater and Cal Hockley mourned the loss of Rose. They never knew she made it. Her mother moved in with Cal's family for a short time. Then she went to Philadelphia broken hearted over her daughter for the rest of her days.

It was May 1, 1912, the day that she was to be married to Cal. She watched Molly leave the train with tears in her eyes.

Molly said, "Send me a telegram to Denver when you get to Los Angeles"

Rose replied, "I will, I promise. Thank you for your help."

Molly said, "I will continue to help, just let me know!"

The train left Denver, and Rose wondered what her life would bring her next.
