“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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAFbugsGMAS1
770Please respect copyright.PENANAG5VTNiuMui
“Hi.” Grace smiled.770Please respect copyright.PENANArIpGC3Q98k
770Please respect copyright.PENANA5yMTcanVVD
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”770Please respect copyright.PENANAHX75CXawbA
770Please respect copyright.PENANA2MXBDLO43n
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”770Please respect copyright.PENANApOHyO0MuIU
770Please respect copyright.PENANAizMdQiXCv7
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”770Please respect copyright.PENANAKbDFXG57GY
770Please respect copyright.PENANAAdk3Z3UtNO
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”770Please respect copyright.PENANAuy7567gLAU
770Please respect copyright.PENANADrsDWIKzZq
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”770Please respect copyright.PENANAf9uka4v1dc
770Please respect copyright.PENANAc8TXblYcFa
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”770Please respect copyright.PENANA61tuyPimgn
770Please respect copyright.PENANAgtbMIRwIVr
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.770Please respect copyright.PENANAr8ahDvVYLv
770Please respect copyright.PENANAdFgarbEI2j
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.770Please respect copyright.PENANAUk2knQsk6B
770Please respect copyright.PENANAXmpNtVeTxo
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”770Please respect copyright.PENANAvt1EARtYdp
770Please respect copyright.PENANAckPEOB7SWW
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”770Please respect copyright.PENANAqGXLpkwykx
770Please respect copyright.PENANANKmQvuv5UV
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”770Please respect copyright.PENANA4N5NXqjRsa
770Please respect copyright.PENANAqrtSWhXjQx
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”770Please respect copyright.PENANAgUSULSht3f
770Please respect copyright.PENANAlOTXZ2OZhz
“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.”770Please respect copyright.PENANALDRVn9KKff
770Please respect copyright.PENANAdIc0DoPUR0
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”770Please respect copyright.PENANAC8uHNmmUP2
770Please respect copyright.PENANAnETAMQX90Q
“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?”770Please respect copyright.PENANAowwDtHP08s
770Please respect copyright.PENANAV1UyLKbwxg
“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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAcb9Y4bUfRj
770Please respect copyright.PENANAEGAgGlAcP1
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”770Please respect copyright.PENANAfS8GglzlJd
770Please respect copyright.PENANA96sz55gyyN
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”770Please respect copyright.PENANAppk154LK08
