Millersburg

“I wish we could have accompanied Larry, Arlene, and Scott to the hospital,” Elsie told John as they and their family traveled home by horse and buggy. “I’m anxious to know what they find out and how he’s doing.”

“They said they would call as soon as they know something.” John touched her arm. “I’ll go out to the phone shack and check for messages every couple of hours once we get home.”

Elsie tried to relax, but she had a horrible feeling something might be seriously wrong with her nephew. It was an inner sense she sometimes got when things weren’t as they should be. She hoped she was wrong this time, but she would feel much better once they heard something from Arlene.

“It was nice of your aunt and uncle to stay at Arlene’s with the kinner,” John said.

“Jah. I think Doris and Brian were going to stay awhile longer, too.” She sighed deeply. “I believe Doris is doing a little better emotionally, but her old spark isn’t back yet.”

“It’ll come. It’s only been a month since she lost the boppli.”

“True.”

When they rounded the next bend, Elsie spotted flames shooting into the air. With trembling lips, she let out a gasp. “Ach, John! Our house—it’s on fire!”
