A Hearth in Candlewood
“With Liesel’s help, she set out a grand offering of the ham, potatoes bubbling with a tangy sauce made from the renderings of the bacon laid on top, hot muffins, and applesauce laced with honey and cinnamon.
Understandably, she had duly forgiven Butter for tracking mud into her kitchen. Emma had also noted that his muzzle was unusually shiny. She suspected Mother Garrett might have put a crock of butter low enough for him to reach without openly offering the treat to him but wisely chose not to... ask her mother-in-law directly, just as she had chosen not to ask her about her still-mysterious errand earlier this morning.
As Emma had expected, however, everyone had expressed only sincere concern for Reverend Glenn’s welfare and his good fortune for not being injured. There had been no discussion about the candlewood he was collecting, but there also had been nary a word or expression that might have suggested he had been foolish to wander off into the woods alone.
Though the drizzle had stopped, the day remained cool and dreary and inspired Emma to venture upstairs for her nap.MoreLess
