Elijah gave a slight bow as he walked and looked ahead," you are the one with a more fixed schedule to keep. Just let me know when and where you'd like to meet and I will meet with you."

He didn't know why it was so difficult to get the basket. He started to regret making it a big deal and should have just stepped up to malachi after service one Sunday and ask him. But then if the priest was busy he might ask Richards and that was what Elijah wanted the most and the least.

The constable looked shameful as he mentioned what he'd heard and slowly placed the on the smile once more. "I do hope I don't disappoint. I am glad to hear such kind things. When you are out on the street during your job it can feel quite the opposite."

He nodded once more but hung his head low. "Thank you, it wasn't much. I hope it was enjoyed."

As they walked he quickly wanted to change the conversation and started to speak about Clarke's Home for Women. "It's been here for about thirty years. It is a nice little place from what I've heard and seen. They only let women stay there and no male visitors unless it's a relative and they have to be escorted at all times and out by dark. I know those two rules but I believe that the lady who runs the place as more. They charge those who they can. But that's because she tends to have one or two rooms that are free if a woman finds herself in need of emergency shelter. I think it will do Miss Nettie very well." He smiled towards her and the young woman who had been watching the interaction with curious eyes nodded quickly.
