“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.364Please respect copyright.PENANASe7tPg5UpJ
364Please respect copyright.PENANAHWtsPyfBh8
“Hi.” Grace smiled.364Please respect copyright.PENANA1TSlOB865t
364Please respect copyright.PENANA0oqfNvn4Jz
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAHkmtFd7Bec
364Please respect copyright.PENANAzT8AVy1MrG
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAjhmkLd7VHC
364Please respect copyright.PENANAiGyJjwIEUD
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAuSPbJfZDNU
364Please respect copyright.PENANAQjthmhP8ZP
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”364Please respect copyright.PENANA0sWfYEkn6P
364Please respect copyright.PENANAynOx5QQ3HQ
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAHlSWuUJmA9
364Please respect copyright.PENANAgks5RjN5nw
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAIu91wjAStj
364Please respect copyright.PENANAqpaEtdoDjn
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.364Please respect copyright.PENANAFajcw1NgSE
364Please respect copyright.PENANAQjbypSbns8
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.364Please respect copyright.PENANAwVukVd26fn
364Please respect copyright.PENANAbFoU8xmDtl
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAJtmI3g02XY
364Please respect copyright.PENANAFwUfYzoMPC
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”364Please respect copyright.PENANA3KpzypyBrF
364Please respect copyright.PENANAm4wK6O2jqO
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”364Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z5wqpisiF
364Please respect copyright.PENANAMXIN4Ncesl
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAFAFMacLSxK
364Please respect copyright.PENANANZCjMP97gt
“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.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAFuOu5IJcFE
364Please respect copyright.PENANA4GvFrQ7zrM
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAwPT4uiRXOX
364Please respect copyright.PENANAh9emcM5xxy
“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?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAUNAr9kZzrN
364Please respect copyright.PENANASg8iqFC5Gx
“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.364Please respect copyright.PENANAG777KgoLC8
364Please respect copyright.PENANAReft2ofpEK
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”364Please respect copyright.PENANAX3rm3dpKEq
364Please respect copyright.PENANAh0688D6sKh
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”364Please respect copyright.PENANAYFn0Obun1U
