This is the twenty-fourth entry out of the thirty I'm attempting. It is part
of a series of thirty entries so I hope you'll read each daily post to
find out what happens in the end.
Thank you for reading!
24. In The Woods
Alisa
lost her handle, sending a dozen apples tumbling to the ground. “Oh, bother!”
Miss
Charleston assisted her, ignoring the fall of her bonnet from atop her flaxen
curls till they were done.
“Thank
you.”
“Luckily,
the bruised ones bake better.” She fished through her basket and handed Alisa a
jam pot. “The help is in the woods about produce. This is far superior to
Hayworth’s jam. Add those apples and you’ll have a perfect Normandy tart.”
“How
do you know that?”
“I
paid attention as a child.” She paused, took a shaky breath, then said “Good
day, Miss Sheffield.”
A very clever use of today's prompt, Afsaneh! What an interesting encounter!
