СКАЧАТЬ thrust his hands in his pockets. Her daughters crept in behind him. Lucy tugged on the hem of his coat. “Mama sick?”

      Willa looked small and vulnerable lying beneath the thick quilt. He wanted to see her standing strong with that stubborn chin jutting out. He nodded. “Ja, I think she is very sick.”

      Megan squeezed past him, grasped her mother’s hand and tugged on it. “Mama get up.”

      His mother scowled at him and leaned down to reassure Megan, slipping her arm around the child’s shoulders. “Your mamm just needs to rest. Kumm, we must let her sleep. You are all going to stay with us for a few days. Won’t that be nice?”

      “Feed cows again?” Lucy asked.

      “Ja. Tomorrow John will let you feed all the animals again. Now it’s time to make our own supper. Go into the kitchen. I’ll be there in a minute. You may each have a cookie from the plate that is on the counter.”

      The girls reluctantly left the bedroom. John followed his mother down the hall. “You sound positively delighted to have this family of strangers stay on for days.”

      “I am.”

      “Well, I’m not. I haven’t been able to get a single piece of work done today.”

      She stopped and turned to face him. “You have done nothing but work yourself half to death for the past four years.”

      “You speak as if that is a poor thing.”

      “Work is all well and good, but you’ve forgotten how to have a little fun now and again.”

      “I know how to have fun.” His mother was being ridiculous.

      “What was the last thing you did simply for the fun of it?” She stared at him with her arms crossed.

      “I enjoy my work. It is fun to me.”

      “You can’t think of anything, can you?”

      He shook his finger at her. “If they do stay another day, you will keep the chatterboxes occupied while I get caught up on my work. A forge is no place for such wild kinder.”

      “They aren’t wild.”

      “Maybell will disagree with you.”

      “I will keep them. All you had to do was ask.” She smiled sweetly, and he saw exactly how tomorrow was going to turn out. It would be a repeat of today.

      “The first thing on my list will be repairing their buggy so they can leave.”

      “If Gott wishes them to go, they will go. If He wishes them to stay, they will stay.” His mother turned away and walked into the kitchen.
