“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.361Please respect copyright.PENANAOzNJC30lqc
361Please respect copyright.PENANAEhHCejniL6
“Hi.” Grace smiled.361Please respect copyright.PENANAEfeji8cGdL
361Please respect copyright.PENANA0aivXDUNZZ
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”361Please respect copyright.PENANAKK1GEGg7y2
361Please respect copyright.PENANA2caaq5LTTR
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”361Please respect copyright.PENANA2n1q8otYdA
361Please respect copyright.PENANAPiLVLIooOx
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ7IfNamX6
361Please respect copyright.PENANAoyGaMl6Rk8
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”361Please respect copyright.PENANAMmhdwpUXIC
361Please respect copyright.PENANAUabyQkOQgC
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAkzTZLyhTBH
361Please respect copyright.PENANAp4JdE5i3kP
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”361Please respect copyright.PENANAUENI2ohyVY
361Please respect copyright.PENANA3Or07vduii
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.361Please respect copyright.PENANAO5uQM2CcTM
361Please respect copyright.PENANAswPD0cNALg
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.361Please respect copyright.PENANABeHDESAUYE
361Please respect copyright.PENANA1mp2upRiSo
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAD0lNLSAb5F
361Please respect copyright.PENANAESE7wSVWwz
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”361Please respect copyright.PENANA9sAMupErDL
361Please respect copyright.PENANADTLtBjoEU4
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAqIPrSxwRYR
361Please respect copyright.PENANAQV2eFIrqs7
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAk015Pk3rfu
361Please respect copyright.PENANAh6jvW7Pm8r
“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.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAmi7qmIjM4E
361Please respect copyright.PENANAc0QypDyPFI
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”361Please respect copyright.PENANAfqk1QA1Q5X
361Please respect copyright.PENANAz9mqJGIAXo
“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?”361Please respect copyright.PENANAWS3BDoCsba
361Please respect copyright.PENANA0WEfcT0dBp
“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.361Please respect copyright.PENANApei5JF2IKp
361Please respect copyright.PENANAEnXRWUH2gB
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”361Please respect copyright.PENANAxzjgC4mmGn
361Please respect copyright.PENANAADEoMmg5Yk
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”361Please respect copyright.PENANA7VZwrzyGP7
