lacked the full mountain views that she so enjoyed on her

place, but all in all it was a gorgeous piece of carefully tended

farmland. The rich, dark soil of recently tilled fields and the

old-fas.h.i.+oned barn with silo with farm machinery parked

nearby indicated it was still a working farm. And there, nes-

 

tIed beneath several old willow trees, was a charmingly old,

single-story farmhouse with a wide, if slightly sagging, cov-

ered porch. She parked in the gravel driveway and walked

up to the front door to be greeted by the friendly barks of a

black-and-white dog, its tail wagging happily.

"You must be Maggie Carpenter," called a raspy voice

from around the side of the porch. An elderly man in clean

"Yes, and you must be Mr. Westerly." She shook his hand

and was surprised at the wiry strength beneath the wrinkled

exterior.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance." His eyes were

girl."

"That she is. Please excuse me for keeping you waiting on

the porch, especially when it's getting so cold outside. I think

I'm not much of a housekeeper-that was always Nellie's

territory, G.o.d rest her soul." He led her into a dimly lit

parlor with furnis.h.i.+ngs that appeared as if they hadn't been

changed or moved for more than fifty years. "Excuse the

dust and have a seat," he said. "I've made us some fresh

coffee. That is, unless you would rather have tea. My Nellie

always preferred tea."

"No, coffee is perfect. And you shouldn't have gone to

such trouble-"

"It's no trouble." He waved his hand and left.
