Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 153
As they entered the parsonage, a stout maid opened the door. The maid bowed politely to the couple and led them to the drawing room.
While waiting on the sofa, about five minutes later, Mrs. Star, with flour on her cheeks, entered the drawing room.
“Welcome!”
She waddled in, her gait resembling that of a duck. Yet, no one would laugh at her walk. A smile born of warmth, perhaps, but nothing more. Mrs. Star’s belly was round and swollen, as if cradling a full moon.
Laura, ignoring the flour on her cheeks, shook hands with her.
“Have you been well?”
“Well, indeed! I’m baking raspberry pies to serve you both. I’ve asked for tea to be brought out, so please wait a moment. He’ll be here soon. He went with Harry to see the rabbit hutch.”
The three sat down.
Mrs. Star’s belly seemed even larger than when they last parted. It was proof that the child within was growing rapidly each day. Having announced her pregnancy around the time Laura adjusted to life in Whitefield, Mrs. Star was now eagerly awaiting her confinement.
Hoping for a daughter, she prayed daily to God for a girl, played the piano clumsily while singing to the daughter in her womb, and drank herbal concoctions from gypsies, said to ensure a daughter instead of a son.
Laura presented her with a gift from London: a silver-rattled toy and a vibrant mobile adorned with colorful animal figures.
“Goodness, such lovely things!”
Laura smiled warmly.
“I hope the baby will like them.”
“Of course, they’ll love them! Oh, I’m delighted. When Harry was born, we couldn’t afford such fine things. Back then, he was an assistant pastor, and our income was modest. Thank you so much.”
