“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.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR6DEHbaWI
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SRh2ngkh
“Hi.” Grace smiled.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WsApX2rQx
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo1JdhWKT2
“I heard you call out. Is there something I can help you with?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN3f7bmKnB
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SyzPFhzmH
“No, no. I was calling to someone up here who seems to be hiding in an alcove.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNB8L7cKVL
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06HI9Guo4p
“Not to worry. He won’t answer. He’s quite harmless. Pay him no attention.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCkjrjB7pG
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QvGGaukHU
“Quite harmless, you say. I’m very glad to hear that. Who is he and what’s he doing up here … hiding?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsmeRD8rcc
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS8wYWuWBe
“It’s an angel, and I’m not sure why he’s chosen this place to hide.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGdD9b1W3d
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqzH261sdx
“An angel?” Grace was flummoxed. “You’re kidding?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16bAmNG2gj
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YSfwGdJKl
“Oh, no, he’s an angel to be sure.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGlAseFu40
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw0OjJRrK1
Grace moved to the head of the stairway.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKoUV9a5xI
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3OVSPqwX
“Oh, please, don’t let his presence discourage you.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkjUDZtyF7
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91qnQZK7NB
Grace descended the stairs, “I'm not discouraged … I’m freaked out. Who are you?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknhuo0RGGH
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ31XQ3SUo
“I’m Morris Liebemacher. This is my shop.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJBVqLeXG
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHESW7no8B
“Morris, you act as if harboring an angel is an everyday occurrence.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VitsZJNgy
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzafMXFHaz
“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.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaFwRkXf2V
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBOvy1BBJD
“That’s very generous of you. Do you know anything about him … this angel?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrrY0HW0H
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgkTruWbQo
“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?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREp3zKQBD
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYxpkiBVs
“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.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdNgkW9qgv
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ig5GIYVT
“Oh, yes, I quite understand.”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBqbwUKICk
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFWfEc0iLI
“He’s not a you-know-what angel from you-know-where, is he?”549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGGwWqFMFc
