The Potter's Lady (2015)
“Bancock was once again rearranging the contracts and ledger books. His hair stood in tiny gray peaks, and his shirt, the same one he’d worn yesterday, was rumpled and stained with ink. After Ewan McKay’s departure, Rylan had talked with Mr. Bancock for several hours in an effort to assure him the visit had gone well. He had even stayed and prayed with the older man well into the evening hours.
Rylan sighed. By Mr. Bancock’s appearance this morning, it was obvious he hadn’t slept well. Rylan... wondered if he’d even gone to bed. Rylan understood his employer’s desire to make a good impression. The older man’s health and finances both made the sale necessary. And though he’d placed ads in several newspapers, only two bids had been forthcoming. Both were from rival pottery owners who wanted to put a competitor out of business. Both offers had been abysmal. Both had been rejected by Mr. Bancock.
Mr. McKay’s request to tour the operation had been the first viable possibility he’d received, and the letter had buoyed Mr.MoreLess
