Chapter 9.

But as many as received Him, to them

He gave the right to become children of God,

to those who believe in His name

John 1:12

When Angela pulled the buggy up outside Emma’s haus, Emma came out to meet her.

“I’ll tend to the horse,” Emma said.

“I’ve got a lot to tell you, Emma.” Angela got out of the buggy.

“Follow me and and tell me,” Emma said while she led the horse into the stable.

“The witness, Juliana Redcliffe, was Jacob’s biological ant, and Robert’s also heard the rumor that the dead man was living with Juliana.”

Emma stopped walking the horse for a moment and looked at her. “Angela that is a huge piece of information. That would have set Ross free if that connection between the two of them was known.”

“Robert said that Ross told him that the birth mudder did not want to have anything to do with the child and they had no more contact with her. Juliana was visiting the boy and telling him about his real daed on the way home from skul and when Ross found out, he told her to stay away. I got to wondering whether the dead man might be Jacob’s birth father.”

“I never even considered that. Gut work finding all that out. We should go visit Elsa-May tomorrow and tell her everything. Had Robert know all this for a while?”

“Jah, he did, but he kept it from me. He said he wanted to see what Elsa-May would uncover.”

“Be gut if he could’ve told you everything from the start. Would’ve saved a lot of time,” Emma said.

“Don’t you think it would’ve been hard for him to tell a total stranger everything? It was awkward at first when I tried to explain who I was and he knew nothing about the letters.” Angela giggled. “He must have thought I was quite mad until he figured out that Jacob wrote the letters.”

“I guess so. He seems to like you.”

“You think he does?”

“I’m sure he does. He’d be doing well to have a fine woman like you as his fraa. He would well know it too.”

The next morning after breakfast Emma said to Angela, “I’ll quickly go to Wil’s haus to use his phone and have the widows meet together this afternoon.”

Emma wrapped her black shawl around her shoulders and walked the five minutes to Wil’s haus.

“Emma, I didn’t expect to see you this morning.” Wil stuck his head around the barn door when he saw Emma approach the haus.

“Hello, Wil. I’ve just come by to borrow your phone if I may. I just need to phone Elsa-May for a minute.”

“Sure, come in.”

The phone was in the barn on the back wall. Emma was sure to keep her voice low so Wil would not ask her questions when she got off the phone.

“Elsa-May, can you organize for the widows to all meet this afternoon? I have news of the witness's identity and we have a theory on who the dead man might be.”

“Who was he?”

“Robert seems to think that it just might be Jacob’s biological father; although he has no idea of the man’s name.
