Marigold
Christmas Quilt Brides series
…I’m surprised you put locks on your carriage house and where you live.” George removed the nosebag from his buckskin and closed the door behind him. He offered his elbow. “Most people are pretty honest. I know very few people who bother to lock their doors.”
“That might be true in the country, but not in town. I got into the habit of locking my place when I lived in Cutler. Especially once the school board made an issue of wanting me to move out sooner than my contract required, I put a lock on the door and gave Rose strict instructions not to leave the house unless the windows were securely closed and the door locked. I didn’t want anyone to come inside during our absence and move our things outside.”
“For some reason, Mari, I cannot picture you giving anyone instructions unless you do so in a strict manner.” A teasing tone to his voice, George bent forward and turned to face Marigold.
Marigold lifted her chin and jerked her face until her gaze met George’s. “Sometimes, one must do what one must do. I quickly discovered, if I wished to be taken seriously, I must use all the tools at my disposal. I am not the tallest of women. Even Rose is taller than I am. Therefore, I must impress upon people that I am determined. Otherwise, there are those who will use their greater height and girth to try to walk all over me.” She continued to hold his gaze as he seemed to study her face.
