“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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAPJauggihW9
383Please respect copyright.PENANAHSiHEtees0
“Hi.” Grace smiled.383Please respect copyright.PENANAKnOwIcU2WQ
383Please respect copyright.PENANAvhAoTtZ5l7
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”383Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ8iAPc6WH
383Please respect copyright.PENANAjskMQ5aPcF
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”383Please respect copyright.PENANA8zdSOmesug
383Please respect copyright.PENANAfZZFIdIbOw
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”383Please respect copyright.PENANASUlE6p0Z7q
383Please respect copyright.PENANAtdggBlqPD5
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”383Please respect copyright.PENANA2vteYPBSPf
383Please respect copyright.PENANA9UVSB71pHD
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”383Please respect copyright.PENANAB182kdkufI
383Please respect copyright.PENANAOAxS43Gmcn
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”383Please respect copyright.PENANAd26LZqAO9g
383Please respect copyright.PENANAoCItyq3dO1
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.383Please respect copyright.PENANAqd7ykwxGBa
383Please respect copyright.PENANAka81pvpvRy
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.383Please respect copyright.PENANAJt3llatRRB
383Please respect copyright.PENANAWFBE0xzIrE
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”383Please respect copyright.PENANA8OAYg9Ni6x
383Please respect copyright.PENANAfF3UeWYHCu
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”383Please respect copyright.PENANAUqTP5o1vv3
383Please respect copyright.PENANAXFZh5Q0Xzm
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”383Please respect copyright.PENANAGI0974ray9
383Please respect copyright.PENANAqCXFYTmsrU
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”383Please respect copyright.PENANAiArm7YtRto
383Please respect copyright.PENANAYDKHe22vgq
“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.”383Please respect copyright.PENANAP77m2Rkbq6
383Please respect copyright.PENANAwTYqtUIf9F
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”383Please respect copyright.PENANA2ASxQxXy1Z
383Please respect copyright.PENANAbi8VEJSeaj
“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?”383Please respect copyright.PENANANXmr5f0s42
383Please respect copyright.PENANAqgczPx60xI
“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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAqRzZ4CLWnD
383Please respect copyright.PENANA5JwMvzmkZS
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”383Please respect copyright.PENANAAMbxEUYqvP
383Please respect copyright.PENANAuHJliczxg0
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”383Please respect copyright.PENANAd82m8B2Zyj
