“Stirling!” she said, greeting him warmly. “How nice to see you.” “Hello, Mrs. Rutherford. I wanted to stop in for a visit sooner, but my holiday from university has gone by more quickly than I could have imagined.” “You’ve been busy, then?” “My father and I have been building an addition to our barn. The work goes quickly with two. I’m enjoying being home and working with him on it. But every day has gone by so fast I’ve hardly done anything else. We should finish tomorrow.” “Can you come in—do you have time for some tea with us?” Stirling smiled. It wasn’t the timid smile of the boy, but the playful smile of a confident young man. “I was hoping you might ask, ma’am,” he said. “You just make yourself comfortable while I go tell Sarah to add some of those cakes you like to the tea tray. Then I’ll fetch Catharine from the library.”
