Jem Small knocked on the back door of Winterbourne. No one answered and he left himself in to a large well, tended kitchen. He shouted hello to no reply. Jem climbed the steps to a large grand hallway and heard conversation.

“Hello, there,” Jem called.

“What are you doing in here?” a matronly woman called out. “Who are you?”

“I’m a looking for a Mistress Plumsbly or a Master Withrow. I’ve a message for them,” Jem said.

“I am Mr. Withrow. We are quite busy here. State your business.”

“Miss Sheldon sent me to talk to you,” Jem said.

“Miss Sheldon? I’m not acquainted . . .” Withrow began.

“Miss Sheldon? What message?” a young, dark-haired man shouted.

Jem stared at the man, obviously the master of this household. He’d been around gentry far too long not to be able to recognize quality but Miss Sheldon had said the message was for others. He turned to the tall, thin white-faced man, the butler he supposed, and spoke.

“Miss Sheldon said this message was for you and a Mrs. Plumsbly. Said to tell the two of you the children were safe and being . . .”

The dark-haired man grabbed his shoulders. “Did you say the children were safe? Jonah and Alice?”

“Yea, that’s their names.”
