Business was so brisk that Boz and Viv could scarcely put the cream horns and raspberry tarts out for display before they all sold out again. “What a day!” Emma declared as she finally flipped the sign to ‘Closed’ and locked the front door at half past two. “I’ll hear the sound of the till opening and closing in my sleep tonight.” Viv snorted. “So will Boz, I reckon, but that’s a sound he likes. Reminds him of all that money he’s makin’.” There was a knock on the door, and the two women looked up, startled. “I’ll take care of it,” Emma sighed, and wondered who had the audacity to knock when the sign plainly stated they were closed. “We’re not open,” she said firmly as she opened the door. “We’ve just closed for the day – oh, Mr Churchill!” He gave her a lopsided but charming smile. “I wonder if I might beg you to let me come in and buy a couple of boxes of scones – which I’m told are delicious, by the way – for the workmen. Mrs Fenning hasn’t time to make them and insists hers aren’t half so good as yours.”
