“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.774Please respect copyright.PENANAGairBJzSzU
774Please respect copyright.PENANAVFQoBlPIFd
“Hi.” Grace smiled.774Please respect copyright.PENANAgyMWv4ELMr
774Please respect copyright.PENANAxR4eRhn7kZ
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”774Please respect copyright.PENANA5jcvSYTeMe
774Please respect copyright.PENANAoHpo3c9Bsj
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAvqunPeUHQC
774Please respect copyright.PENANAJOnNVsCl3Z
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAWXa3Ib7Wwp
774Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ9TnJ8ust
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAms0ApJi32k
774Please respect copyright.PENANA8DANoXINPV
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAjOaFUSYXN1
774Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0YT9Uu1yA
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAVfgn7BinfK
774Please respect copyright.PENANAX9opTh9CVc
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.774Please respect copyright.PENANAtSrEDsJhEs
774Please respect copyright.PENANAEYZG28LRxd
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.774Please respect copyright.PENANAxwsrnZ9pVG
774Please respect copyright.PENANA1dqxPLQ8YE
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAgrfaTEMGyE
774Please respect copyright.PENANAQAzGkgyAum
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAs8NtI00onq
774Please respect copyright.PENANAKJXgQUcAIH
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”774Please respect copyright.PENANALmZdmM1y4d
774Please respect copyright.PENANAUuxKUTg3mc
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”774Please respect copyright.PENANApeQIAL0kR0
774Please respect copyright.PENANAjjcvc0Jt9b
“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.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAsxyL2xFXNM
774Please respect copyright.PENANAhitmBA4GOz
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAts3uKSWAZM
774Please respect copyright.PENANAeGrt9tmELm
“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?”774Please respect copyright.PENANA5sp2rfg85X
774Please respect copyright.PENANAi9V0C7ViQV
“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.774Please respect copyright.PENANA8WqZMp5VS5
774Please respect copyright.PENANA7O7zaGh0IV
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”774Please respect copyright.PENANAHoxITpI6yI
774Please respect copyright.PENANAsWCDKtw43W
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”774Please respect copyright.PENANAbY01AfmJsq
