“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.771Please respect copyright.PENANAlIyjonOvlJ
771Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Pd39dTCr
“Hi.” Grace smiled.771Please respect copyright.PENANAzuP8DWWgsk
771Please respect copyright.PENANAKuxYYTMEFH
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”771Please respect copyright.PENANA0yT5ZUaHLQ
771Please respect copyright.PENANAKqfpReAqNq
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”771Please respect copyright.PENANAF53G3SskeM
771Please respect copyright.PENANASLimf266Yt
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”771Please respect copyright.PENANAv3R6aMRm8P
771Please respect copyright.PENANA5ygQVXfLMS
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”771Please respect copyright.PENANAKkfLuVwRNM
771Please respect copyright.PENANAuVjt6H6y6g
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”771Please respect copyright.PENANA4d3Y2sO3yx
771Please respect copyright.PENANAKpASGHTAig
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”771Please respect copyright.PENANA67V7H4hro8
771Please respect copyright.PENANAygSOorA2H8
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.771Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3LKvy9lhK
771Please respect copyright.PENANAImRvsxSXuI
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.771Please respect copyright.PENANAqKmx1vqxt2
771Please respect copyright.PENANAW6IME8rROI
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”771Please respect copyright.PENANAOQNc6BIiTR
771Please respect copyright.PENANAi5mjoxSoZs
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”771Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ5Ly09ueE
771Please respect copyright.PENANAq8eM4ZV7ea
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”771Please respect copyright.PENANASlX5z6QP81
771Please respect copyright.PENANABFwm9Gcb7H
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”771Please respect copyright.PENANAOYqRhPBRCT
771Please respect copyright.PENANAZBL0XcJnnB
“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.”771Please respect copyright.PENANAVnwaNiNBOs
771Please respect copyright.PENANAmIibFK2wHx
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”771Please respect copyright.PENANACcrqCJiOss
771Please respect copyright.PENANA4aBDjTvAR9
“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?”771Please respect copyright.PENANA2UEsBK2JiZ
771Please respect copyright.PENANABbG5b6Tu1K
“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.771Please respect copyright.PENANACrOF0lqiXd
771Please respect copyright.PENANAPt3HLJW2Ii
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”771Please respect copyright.PENANAKefmgurRC8
771Please respect copyright.PENANAA9PIO9FHfK
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”771Please respect copyright.PENANAikUjSmXYtC
