Chapter 10.

“Jah, you have to come to the haus with me today, Elsa-May. I don’t want to be talked into anything that I’m not ready for. Ruth said the realtor’s pushy. I don’t know why Ruth made this appointment without asking me.”

“She would only have thought she was doing the right thing for you.” Elsa-May stroked the fluffy white puppy in her lap.

Ettie breathed out heavily. “I suppose so.”

“I don’t like to leave Snowy alone. Look, he’s going to sleep.”

“Is that his name, Snowy?”

Elsa-May nodded. “It came to me this morning.”

“You could bring him, but it might be distracting when we’re trying to talk to the realtor. He’ll be all right. He sleeps most of the day anyway.”

“Okay. We’ll be right back, Snowy,” Elsa-May whispered to her dog.

“He’ll have the run of the place, or he can go out the dog door into the backyard.”

Elsa-May stood up and then placed Snowy on his dog bed in the corner.

“Finally,” Ettie said when she saw Elsa-May put the dog on his bed.

Elsa-May chuckled. “You were the one who wanted me to get a dog.”

“I wanted you to walk. Have you taken him for a walk yet?”

“I might do that later today.”

“Gut. I might go with you. Now let’s go and wait outside. The taxi will be here any minute.”

The two sisters placed their black over-bonnets over their prayer kapps, and put their capes over their shoulders before they stepped outside. The wind was chilly, but it wasn’t long before the taxi arrived.

When they stepped out of the taxi at the end of their journey, Elsa-May looked up at the house. “Jeremiah’s certainly made it look better.”

“Jah, it’s taken a bit to get it into proper shape. Let’s get out of the cold and wait inside.” Ettie had noticed that Ava’s horse was not in the yard, so she knew that her young friend was out somewhere.

Minutes later, a shiny blue car pulled up in the driveway. A tall slim blonde-haired woman stepped out. She opened the back door to retrieve a briefcase and headed to the house.

When Ettie looked through the window and saw her approach, she opened the door.

“Mrs. Smith?”

Ettie nodded.

“Lovely to meet you.” The tall blonde woman put out her hand.

Ettie shook her hand. “It’s lovely to meet you, Ms. Winnie.”

“Please call me Brandy.” She looked over Ettie’s shoulder at Elsa-May.

“And this is my sister, Elsa-May.”

“Nice to meet you too.” She shook Elsa-May’s hand and then flicked her long hair over her shoulder. “Ruth tells me you’re thinking of selling?”

“I will be selling later on. I’ve got a young friend living in the grossdaddi haus until she gets married, and then I’ll sell.”

“Perfect. Would you like to show me through?”

“Before I do that, I must tell you that a man was murdered and hidden under the floor for forty years.”

Brandy’s mouth turned down at the corners. “I heard about that. So that was this house?”

Ettie nodded.

“That will affect the price. By law, I do have to let people know if anyone’s been murdered at a property they’re viewing.
