Noreene had taken a bowl of stew to her wagon for it would be all hers one day. That was another reason why her corner was slightly larger than the other two. Plus she had the keys to two empty closets that she wanted locked. She also knew that she would have her granny's stuff and would need a place to put it. She sat the bowl carefully on her bed next to her and she was reading an old book that she found in a store. She was able to buy a whole box full of books from the old section. Many of the pages were missing in them and were considered unsaleable. Noreene had carefully put the best pages together from several of the same books to make a good book to read for several weeks. She new had 4 perfect books which she would keep and 2 good books to sale if she wanted to.

A knock on the door and Noreene spoke
"Yes?"

"I have a friend that needs your help, Noreene. May we come inside please." Sean spoke in such a respectful voice that she was surprised.

"Yes, father. Please feel free to come inside. I am the only one here at the moment. Caroline needed mother's help and I don't know where Jacquelyn is." she spoke then took a quick bite of stew.

((Sorry that I haven't responded sooner. I had knee surgery and sometimes my knee hurts a bit much. I'd rather wait and give you a good response instead of a crappy one.))
