"It is nice tae meet yu, Miss Nesah Meijer."  She had not indicated a title any more than he had, so he went with what he knew which was very little.  But at least he now had a name.  He might have to listen to anything he heard about the Meijer family.  He'd like to know more about her and her story.

When she seemed to be about to leave, he looked at his canvas, and then stepped beside it to watch her leave.  "I am aboot tae finish for the day, woold yu mind company walking back tae town?"  Why was he asking that?  He could do more painting.  He wasn't sure, but for some reason, he was curious about her.

If she said no, he would just continue painting, no harm done.  If she said yes, perhaps more time just being a normal ordinary man with an interesting woman.  Perhaps he could talk her into letting him draw her.  Those eyes and that expression just called to be drawn or painted.
