Edith And The Mysterious Stranger - Plot & Excerpts
Henry laid the child down on a mat in his office, awaiting her arrival. When she arrived, she noticed the door was partly open, and Henry was seated at his desk, writing. She noticed that he was intent on what he was doing. He had a crease across his brow in concentration, and he did not even notice that she was standing in the doorway. Edith cleared her throat as she walked through the door. When Henry looked up from his work and saw her, he smiled and his eyes brightened. He was pleasantly surprised at how quickly she had come and immediately stood. Then, taking her to the corner of the room, he pointed to the young boy lying on a mat. Edith knelt down beside him and gave him a sympathetic smile. “What happened, young man?” The little eight-year-old boy winced as he held up his hand. It was wrapped with a piece of white cloth, and she noticed a red stain that had soaked through the bandage near his palm. She tenderly took his hand in hers and unwrapped it. Henry watched attentively.
