“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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAxLOkDGJzFN
363Please respect copyright.PENANAK8lWCvxVFF
“Hi.” Grace smiled.363Please respect copyright.PENANAyk9sptjtl9
363Please respect copyright.PENANAVnnhszwNEu
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”363Please respect copyright.PENANAKAngrlr2yn
363Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Mf6NJLJr
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAOV6jgiff9j
363Please respect copyright.PENANApXvzaM5qsq
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAQx8FPA0AHq
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6MjUUmlb1b
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”363Please respect copyright.PENANA28z19b7wdC
363Please respect copyright.PENANAQR0OsS6aiW
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAwT4kUNsrJ6
363Please respect copyright.PENANAoNFVayFKyC
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”363Please respect copyright.PENANAva9UzHUfwn
363Please respect copyright.PENANA1CHQWphHgD
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.363Please respect copyright.PENANAL5J3PUxHPo
363Please respect copyright.PENANApTOuL92rMW
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.363Please respect copyright.PENANAlIsUDhzBLp
363Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ybjjoU1b
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAyMtKn0VvKD
363Please respect copyright.PENANAl8Bi8CULMZ
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”363Please respect copyright.PENANANztkFBNCJ0
363Please respect copyright.PENANA34XWXjGRlI
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAE6vLoWoiPX
363Please respect copyright.PENANAUOf9OTNRdh
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”363Please respect copyright.PENANALdFDnLv50e
363Please respect copyright.PENANApXz1FDkWFE
“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.”363Please respect copyright.PENANA570okWY34i
363Please respect copyright.PENANA8yASJ2WRJ9
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”363Please respect copyright.PENANAjjBMkKQ3wA
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6IrhxsB8vR
“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?”363Please respect copyright.PENANAVNvEI8ejJc
363Please respect copyright.PENANAtVjVQJFsg2
“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.363Please respect copyright.PENANAJxpBkRxu5Z
363Please respect copyright.PENANA3AB7HMY2f3
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAOAH4moqtP7
363Please respect copyright.PENANA6d4wwFXzXj
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”363Please respect copyright.PENANA3pdUjAxxWK
