- About the Author
If you were here, Father, I would want you to meet the man who owns the mercantile, Marshall Riggs. Hes the man with whom Sean lives. (Marc and I are settled in our small house. Its really very cozy.) I dont know how I feel about this man, Father, but I feel something that Ive never felt for anyone. He is a believer and when we first arrived, I thought he might be interested in me. Im not sure now. It is, of course, his store in which Ill be starting work on Monday, June 5.
Please dont think hes been threatening in any way. I believe its very safe to work for him. As I said before, the only thing not settled are my feelings. I know youll pray for me and I feel better just having shared this with you.
Sean is working hard and Mr. Riggs is pleased with his effort. Marc will be with Sean on the days hes not working or with May Taylor, Mr. Riggs mother. I am writing from the Taylors right now. They have taken us under their wing and we usually stay with them on Saturday night and then ride with them to church. The family is William and May Taylor with sons, Marshall, Mays son from a previous marriage, Jeffrey, Gilbert, and Nathan. Nate is one of my pupils.
I suspect youll want to know about the church. The fellowship is good and the preaching straight from the Word. I miss your services though.
Ill encourage Sean and Marc to write this week. Please pray for me as I begin this new job and as I work closely with Mr. Riggs. I love you Father, and remember youre always in my prayers.
Katie
Kate felt drained when she finished the letter and went out to sit in the sun to dry her hair. Her mind strayed to Joey and the chance that he might have been at church that morning. With school out she wondered when she would see him.
The one time shed mentioned going to his house, Rigg had discouraged her. He had tried to sound casual but Kate had been acutely aware of the tensing of his body so contrary to the nonchalant tone of his voice.
Well, she would have to do what she thought was right. Kate continued to dwell on Rigg and she thanked God for the way hed gone to Sean the night before. Kate had been so drained, and she just wasnt as close to Sean as she once was. She wouldnt have known what to say even if she had gone to the barn with him.
She and Marcail had just been finishing their own supper when Sean had come in and polished off two large bowls of stew and Kaitlin didnt know how many biscuits. She hadnt seen him this morning before they left for church, but knew hed be coming back for lunch.
