“Hello,” came a greeting from below. Grace looked over the railing and beheld an elderly man peering up at her over gold-rimmed glasses perched on the end of his nose. She could not help but notice his kindly crystal blue eyes gazing at her.772Please respect copyright.PENANAAtD0tTkppX
772Please respect copyright.PENANA5YExR7m0NP
“Hi.” Grace smiled.772Please respect copyright.PENANA11G3yDnSr7
772Please respect copyright.PENANA8WqpXGdUwi
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAqErLyrg6uX
772Please respect copyright.PENANA5kWzDTgj37
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”772Please respect copyright.PENANA32Se9jIpN3
772Please respect copyright.PENANAek9djlaAo8
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”772Please respect copyright.PENANAAQcDKAXCGY
772Please respect copyright.PENANAEWKA8Tnqlt
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAFHxaWIogYt
772Please respect copyright.PENANAyLjVqCjnJV
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”772Please respect copyright.PENANAx4wKoyX6wa
772Please respect copyright.PENANACDqxWgk0y0
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAolF2QynQsf
772Please respect copyright.PENANAPLAZJXyFIA
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.772Please respect copyright.PENANANbUPufwGZb
772Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Z8OwB4WO
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.772Please respect copyright.PENANAuM78idJ2Uu
772Please respect copyright.PENANA2X3IcgJfqO
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”772Please respect copyright.PENANAgteTo6clt7
772Please respect copyright.PENANAFanIqUTguY
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAIgHZaGROoR
772Please respect copyright.PENANAf5B37FiHEN
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”772Please respect copyright.PENANARJKiInFLdq
772Please respect copyright.PENANAB3nsWl7hlQ
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”772Please respect copyright.PENANAHFCMxgM6KJ
772Please respect copyright.PENANAVN2OdCX03x
“Oh, no. It isn’t that at all. I just don’t know what to do about him. He seems quite harmless, so I let him be.”772Please respect copyright.PENANAGWU4Eyb9C1
772Please respect copyright.PENANAQSQocBScJe
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAuepcDxxAeZ
772Please respect copyright.PENANA25AcDcoLae
“No, not really. I’ve tried to talk to him but he won’t say a word. He was terrified the first time I spoke with him, but has since gotten used to me and seems quite calm now. Would you like to have a go at him?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAyA9rk5sY8A
772Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZI2L8q74O
“No … I don’t think so. I’m not really into talking to angels … terrified or not. I think I would find it … how shall I say … a little disconcerting, being my first time and all. You understand.” Grace raised her eyebrows and smiled.772Please respect copyright.PENANABUhN3p6FMp
772Please respect copyright.PENANAZgO6AULTH2
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”772Please respect copyright.PENANAaKj85Lhe4v
772Please respect copyright.PENANA9O4wg47QPM
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”772Please respect copyright.PENANAL4E0LiZH40
