“They’d arrived the evening before, and Papa had decided to spend the night so he could work on the boat the following morning. He’d accidentally run into one of the other canal boats and put a hole in the bow of his boat. It wasn’t large, and it was high enough that no water had leaked in, but it still needed to be repaired before it got any worse. Papa would be busy with that all day, which meant Kelly could head off with Mike and probably go unnoticed. Not wishing to run into Betsy again, Kel...ly waited until the crowd had dispersed from Reverend Nelson’s outdoor preaching service before she walked to Mike’s store. They’d talked briefly the night before and had agreed to meet sometime after noon in front of his place. It was a hot summer day in late August, and Kelly wished she and Mike could go swimming in the canal to get cooled off. She dismissed the idea as quickly as it popped into her mind when she remembered Mike had said he didn’t swim well, and she, though able to swim, was afraid of water snakes.MoreLessRead More Read Less
