[Troublesome Creek 01] - Troublesome Creek - Plot & Excerpts
Meeting with her nursemaid, he laid out plans for the invalid’s next six months of care. He wouldn’t be back until early winter, and he wanted to be sure everything was in order. With the rising of the sun, his mind had cleared. The stirring in his heart the night before was replaced by calm logic. Yes, Copper Brown was beautiful, and yes, she was intelligent and charming . . . but she was not the girl for him. He ate a biscuit and a piece of ham and washed it down with hot coffee, thankful the nurse was also a good cook. Taking an ax from the shed, he went out to clear the scrub brush and Virginia creeper vines that threatened to overtake the porch. His day continued in such a vein, and by late afternoon the yard was free of bushes and weeds, and a stack of firewood lay neatly by the back door. Wonder how the boy is doing, he thought after a quick wash in the creek. What if he took a setback? Maybe he should go by the Browns’ and check on Daniel. Simon stroked his cheeks. Maybe he’d shave first.
