Chapter 13

Two hours later, Adeline and Mrs. Miller were on the way home. Adeline still hadn’t seen Hazel’s mother. She hadn’t come out of her little grossdaddi haus the whole time.

“What did you talk to Hazel’s mudder about?”

“Just this and that. Nothing too exciting.”

Adeline stared at her mother wondering whether Hazel’s mother had confided in her or not. From the way her mother had clammed up, she guessed that they’d had a long conversation about everything. She hoped her mother was able to help her. They were halfway home, and still nothing was mentioned about Hazel’s pregnancy. Adeline wasn’t going to mention it, since none of the Fullers knew about it yet, except for Isaac.

“What did you and Hazel talk about?” her mother eventually asked.

“We had a nice glass of lemonade. She’d only just made it.”

“Good. And what did you talk about?”

“It seems her mudder was a bit upset about something.”

“Do you know what?”

Adeline could barely contain a smile. “You must’ve found out since you were talking with her mudder.”

“Maybe I did.”

“I hope you were able to give her some comfort.”

Mrs. Miller nodded. “Jah, and I think the two of us will become good friends. We talked about many things.”

“I’m glad.” No more needed to be said. Adeline looked out across the fields feeling pleased she’d been there to give Hazel some comfort and that her mother had been able to talk with Hazel’s mother.

Her good feelings didn’t last long because when she and her mother arrived home, Nella’s buggy was there. Then they saw Nella pacing up and down along the porch. Adeline knew instantly that Nella was upset and she silently made a good guess; her friend’s mood was to do with Joshua.

“I think I need to talk with her in private, Mamm.”

Mrs. Miller sighed. “You girls and your boy troubles.”

“How do you know it’s boy troubles?”

“I used to be young once, you know. What else is there at your age? Go on, talk to her and I’ll unhitch the buggy. Take as long as you want.” Mrs. Miller’s gaze traveled to the porch. “And from the looks of her, you’re going to take some time.”

“Denke, Mamm.”

Adeline climbed down from the buggy and Nella ran to meet her.

“Your schweschder wouldn’t let me in the haus. She said she was sick. She wouldn’t even let me wait in the living room.”

Adeline shook her head at her sister’s lack of social skills. “I’m sorry. She can be like that sometimes. Anyway, what’s wrong?”

“How do you know something’s wrong?”

Adeline whispered, “It’s so obvious even my mudder could tell. I’m guessing things didn’t go too well with Joshua. Didn’t he show up at your onkel’s haus?”

“He did, but I wish he hadn’t.”

Adeline glanced over at her mother who was now leading the horse closer to the barn. “Come inside and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea and then we can talk.”

Nella bit a fingernail. “Denke.”

When Adeline walked inside, her sister was nowhere in sight. “Where are you, Catherine?”

“I’m trying to sleep.
