In the Face of Danger (2013)
“In the open areas, battered clumps of blackened grass and hard-packed ground mingled with patches of snow.
Ben had gone to check on the Haskills the day after he returned home. He came back to report to Emma and Megan that the Haskill home was so filled with misery he could hardly wait to leave.
“Poor Ada’s had some hard surprises,” Emma said. “First the house, and now the blizzard. But I think she’ll come around. I’ll bake some gingerbread and Megan can take it to her.” She looked at the puppi...es, in the new box with higher sides where Ben had moved them. “In two or three weeks Dick will be ready to move to a new home. A puppy to love will do wonders for Ada.”
Megan had her doubts about that and was more inclined to pity Dick than Mrs. Haskill, but she remembered what Emma had said about women on the prairie needing one another’s support and kept her thoughts to herself.
When she carried the basket of hot gingerbread to the Haskills’, Megan was surprised to find the room cluttered and the dishes unwashed.MoreLess
