          “Mari, are you all right? I was afraidwhat I said earlier upset you. It’s not what I wanted to do, but…” Georgedipped his head as he studied Marigold.

          “No, George, don’t worry about it.”Marigold shook her head. “You were right. It just caught me off-guard.I’ll…well, I’ll take care of the banking and buying fabric tomorrow, afterschool. I think I’ll visit Joey’s house on Saturday. That will give me a chanceto ask him again for directions, plus I’ll be able to rent a buggy and go inthe daytime.”

          “Are you sure, Mari?” Her browcreased, and her lips pressed together, Rose stared at her sister.

          “Yes, I’m sure.” Marigold clasped herhands together and raised her chin. “I won’t have the jacket ready, yet. Idon’t sew that fast. But, I can at least meet Joey’s mother and find outexactly what is making her sick. I can ask her what sort of help she needs.”

          “Mari, on Saturday, wait long enoughfor me to ride into town so I can go with you.” George took several steps intothe room. “I’ll be happy to drive the buggy, plus you won’t find yourself outalone, searching for a place you’ve never been to before. Maybe, if there’ssomething she needs, like more firewood chopped, I can help with that while youand she talk.”

          Marigold blinked and stared at Georgefor several seconds before answering. “Thank you, George. If it won’t keep youfrom something important, I’ll take you up on your offer.” She then saidgoodbye as everyone waved and left her house. After closing the door behindthem and finding herself alone once more, she turned and, her gaze unfocused,stared across the open room. GeorgeBurdock offered to drive me to a student’s house? She was so accustomed todoing everything herself, with possibly only Rose for company, she found itincredible that a man, who only a few months ago, had been a stranger, offeredto accompany her.
