Chapter 6

By morning, Sadie felt significantly better. Ruth told her about the events of the previous night and Sadie said that the least they could do was to invite James over for lunch. Ruth agreed.

Presently, James came over to check on Sadie. He declared her much improved and admired her for the strength of will that had allowed her to pass through the difficult phase.

Ruth was full of appreciation for what James had done. James was modest about it. He knew he had only done what any doctor would have done. They invited him to join them for lunch. James told her that he would be delighted to have lunch with them, but he was fixing Mrs. Schrock’s buggy and would possibly not have time that day. After much cajoling, he agreed to lunch the following day.

The next day, Sadie and Ruth enthusiastically prepared lunch for James. They selected the finest vegetables and fruits and exceeded themselves in ensuring that James would have a delightful and memorable lunch. While they ate their lunch, the three of them indulged in small talk, but it soon became evident to Sadie that James and Ruth were really interested in one another. They swapped stories from their childhoods, comparing their very different experiences. James was keenly interested in how they lived without technology, whereas Ruth wanted to know all about the modern world.

After the lunch was finished and the dishes were washed, James beckoned Ruth. “Come, I want to show you something.”

“What?”

“I'm not going to tell you. You will have to see it for yourself. It's not very far.”

Ruth followed him outside, where he led her to the shed. He didn’t go inside this time, but instead pointed to the newly painted buggy, which was adjacent to the building. It looked as good as new.

“This is wonderful,” Ruth exclaimed.

“Isn’t it? Mrs. Schrock hasn't returned yet, but I think she will be delighted when she sees it.”

“But does it work?" Ruth asked. "I hope you haven’t just pieced it together.”

“It will work exactly like it was working before. How about we take it for a test ride?”

“A ride?”

“Yes. Do you know about the lake? It's only about a mile from here.”

“No.”

“It’s the most beautiful place on earth.”

“You don’t say.”

“Sure, I do. Come with me. I will show you.”

Sadie watched James hitch his horse to the buggy. When he was finished he opened the buggy door for Ruth and she climbed inside. James lifted the reins and they drove off toward the lake. She could hear them talking from a distance. She was grateful to James for saving her life. However, as an Englischer, his attention to Ruth was improper.
