Chapter 12

Ettie looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s noon, twelve o’clock,” she announced to Elsa-May. It had been raining on and off all day and Elsa-May hadn’t even been able to take Snowy for his regular morning walk. “The reading of the will was early this morning. Do you think we should go to John’s and see what happened?”

“John’s haus?”

“That’s right.”

“If he didn’t inherit the farm, he won’t be in the mood for visitors.”

“Then we won’t stay,” Ettie said.

“It’s not the best day for an outing.”

“We can’t let the weather hold us back. Besides, I like the rain sometimes.”

“Jah, when you’re indoors.”

Ettie chuckled. “Where is your adventurous spirit?”

“It went away when I reached fifty-two, six-months, and two days.”

“Okay, I’ll go by myself then.” Ettie pushed herself to her feet.

Elsa-May had just finished a row and she dropped the knitting into her lap. “Wait up.”

“Are you coming with me?”

“I might as well.” Snowy looked up and ran to her. “I’m sorry, boy. Perhaps we can go for a walk this afternoon in between rain showers? You go back to your bed and I’ll get you a treat.” Snowy’s ears pricked up on hearing the word ‘treat.’

Ettie laughed. “He knows the word, but he’s got no intention of going back to his bed until he sees it.”

Elsa-May headed to the kitchen with Snowy following close behind. As soon as he was given his treat in the kitchen, he scurried back to his dog bed in the corner to eat it.

“He’s happy now,” Ettie said as she pulled on her black over-bonnet and picked up her shawl.

“I hope we don’t catch a cold in this weather. I’ve already not been feeling well.”

“Stay home then. I’m not forcing you to come with me.”

“Nee, you’re not forcing me, but you have a way of making me do things.”

Ettie passed Elsa-May her shawl and bonnet. “These will keep out the rain.”

“It’s uncomfortable visiting John with how rude Connie is. Is that true, what you told me about what she said to you and Florence?”

“Jah, it’s true. I didn’t know what to say when she asked Florence and me what business was it of ours. Florence should’ve said we’re trying to get to the bottom of who murdered her father-in-law, that’s what she should’ve said. Anyway, we can’t let Connie bother us or stand in our way,” Ettie said. “Just ignore her if she’s rude.”
