- About the Author
After breakfast they walked to the house that Greg had found. The house turned out to be a one-room cottage. It was quaint, charming even, and painted white. Kaitlin was pleasantly surprised to see a stove and a table with two chairs. She became concerned, though when she saw only one bed.
Its very nice.
Then you like it? Mr. Carson seemed so delighted that Kaitlin smiled.
Yes, I do. She glanced around and then asked, Is there any way we could have another bed?
Mr. Carson looked a little surprised at the request and then looked at Sean as though seeing him for the first time. Hed been given no authorization from the school board to furnish the house and the thought went against his grain, even if he had.
I forgot that there were three of you, he said almost absently and then a smile lit his face. The male schoolteachers usually stay with Marshall Riggs. Ill bet hed let Sean stay with him!
Kaitlin felt her breath leave in a rush. Have Sean live somewhere else, with some man they hadnt even met yet? Kate didnt know what to do.
She asked cautiously, not wanting to complain, Mr. Carson, when you were checking, did you see any places for rent that were a little bit bigger?
Not in this price range, he told her, not unkindly.
Well Kaitlin began, but really couldnt think of anything to say. Greg took it as an agreement.
Fine, fine. I can go over right now and explain the situation to Rigg and then Ill show you the schoolhouse. Can you find your way back to the hotel?
Yes, thank you. Kates voice was strained but Greg didnt notice. With a quick wave he was gone.
Are we going to go back to Aunt Maureens? Marcail wanted to know. Katie, are we going to go back to Aunt Maureens? The little girl tugged on her sisters dress and Kaitlin finally looked at her.
I dont know
No, were not, Sean interrupted in a strong voice. Kaitlin just looked at him. Were staying here and giving this a try. I can go live with this Riggs fellow and you guys can stay here. You got the job, Katie, and I take that as an open door for staying here. I would rather that we were together but I still think were going to be okay.
Kate stared at her brother and wondered when he had gotten older than 14.
All right, Sean, well give it a try.
They made their way back to the hotel to pack and wait for Mr. Carson. He was knocking at their door soon after theyd closed their cases and once again all of the Donovans accompanied him, only this time to the schoolhouse.
