Colorado Springs

It was late in May, nearly June, when Mrs. Harding received the letter. Spring had finally stopped teasing the residents of the Rocky Mountains and arrived in full. Color seemed to be in every corner of the world. The lawns and gardens of Briarly were once again a showplace. It was here that Quintin’s nanny opened her letter, and here where she sat, her small charge playing quietly beside her, and stared at nothing for a short time.

“Mrs. Harding?”

“Yes, Quintin?”

Mrs. Harding wondered at what her expression must have been when Quintin only stared at her, a worried crease between his small brows.

“I was just thinking, Quintin,” she said, smiling to reassure him. She watched his eyes drop to the letter in her hand. He was too bright not to notice, but she knew he would never ask. “You’re not cold, are you?”

Quintin’s eyes returned to hers. He shook his head in denial and went back to the sketch-pad in his hand. It was a normal enough question to get his mind off of his nanny and also give Mrs. Harding a moment more to think. Indeed, a moment was all she needed. She folded the letter carefully and returned it to the envelope. This very evening she would speak with Mr. McCandles about the contents.
