EPILOGUE

GIFTS OF GOLD AND GRACE

’Tis grace itself, this letting go of yesterday,

The relinquishing of old days and old ways

To make room for the gift of God’s tomorrows.

CAVAN SHERIDAN, FROM WAYSIDE NOTES

NEW YORK CITY

On the following Monday, Samantha was visiting Cavan Sheridan, along with Rufus and Amelia, when Jack strode into the ward.

It was late afternoon, but the man certainly did not look as if he had spent the day at the office. Samantha couldn’t stop a smile at his jaunty air and his light, almost dancing, step as he approached. He was his usual natty self—impeccably groomed, freshly barbered, and dressed to the nines in an elegantly tailored gray suit and a silk neckcloth in a shade of lustrous pearl.

He was carrying something—a rather thick letter, so it appeared.

As he walked up to the bed, his greeting took in everyone, but his smile seemed just for her.

“I hope you’re getting good and tired of playing the slugabed, boyo,” he cracked to Cavan Sheridan, who, although still obviously weak and in some discomfort, was propped up by a flock of pillows at his back. “I’ll grant you only a few more days, and then it’s back to work for you!”

As he spoke, he waved the letter he was carrying in Samantha’s direction. “And for you as well, Mrs. Harte—we have company coming, you see.”

Samantha wondered what on earth he was talking about, then realized—“You’ve heard from your brother!”

“Indeed. As it happened, the letter’s been lying about the house since last Friday, but with all the fuss and confusion, I’d forgotten to read it until this morning. It seems we have a wee boy and girl coming across very soon now—and my troublesome brother even remembered to send along the copy for their story.”

He stopped, studying Cavan Sheridan for a moment before going to stand alongside him. When he spoke again, he dropped his voice and put a hand to the boy’s good shoulder. “And you must brace yourself, Sheridan, for the rest of the news in my brother’s letter will surely astound you.” He paused. “Your sister has been found, lad, and even as we speak, is more than likely on her way to America.”
