AFTERNOON

Jeremiah! His news to me was so sweet I stayed up till dawn to savor it. He missed me every bit as much as I missed him! It gladdens my soul that his purpose and mine are the same. For all that he is a Quaker and I am a Presbyterian, we are alike in the ways that matter.

I thought my chores were hard—how difficult it was for him. At least I was warm indoors and protected from the worst of the storm.

I don’t like that he must make another trip north so soon, but I’ll endure it. He journeyed well in spite of the storm and will journey well again. If only I could go instead of Will. Bah! The rules are too strict for girls. But I’ll obey, for what choice do I have?

Tomorrow I’ll return home to Mama and Papa, to Tom and Miranda and all their wild beasts. Home! The word is as sweet as snow candy on my tongue.
