This was a place for the children to play while their mothers visited, and here Deborah met the wife of Elder Goerz, a dour woman who regarded Ansjie with suspicion and seemed to feel that Deborah, too, was a sort to bear watching. “She thinks everyone’s after that hulking son of hers,” Ansjie whispered as they exchanged polite farewells and moved toward the church. “I hope he finds someone to marry quick so she’ll stop watching me with eyes like boiled eggs!” “Your other suitor, Peter Voth, doesn’t have a mother,” Conrad teased. “And he’s old enough to be my father,” Ansjie retorted. “I’ll just have to find Friedental a blacksmith or a doctor,” he said with a mock sigh, opening the door to reveal a high pulpit in the front center with a high bench on either side. “The benches are for deacons,” Ansjie said somewhat airily. “More bench than deacons, but, of course, the village will grow. In the three years since we came, there’ve been eighteen children born.”
