Relief fell over her as she walked over and knelt down to pick up the bible for the girl. She brushed off the dirt and handed it over with a small smile. "I'm Nettie Brennan, his niece. You may call me Nettie, if you like." The woman stood and a troubled look came over her face as she looked down at Mable. The girl seemed distressed she couldn't find him and it made her wonder even more why the man just left so suddenly. He didn't mention being in trouble, but then after all she learned...
Nettie sighed and put a hand to her temple. "I'm sorry, he left town. I do not know why or when.. or if.. he'll even be back. But I am here to help you out if you will let me. I can understand if you are disappointed, this is honestly not like how he used to be."
