After breakfast
the two men went around the corner of the hostel and saw the children
On seeing the
small children Sulaven remembered of his angel grand daughter Magness and
wished so much in his heart to see her again
Skinner new the look of Sulaven face and did
not bother to ask
Skinner thanked
Sulaven and the 16men in doing a wonderful job
Sulaven was
quite silent at home as he sat on his rocking chair Martha was very sad and
wondered what was the matter he softly that he missed his family and wanted to
see them
Martha know this
mind of a father she too wanted too see them she gently patted his back and
said don’t worry I am here
Just then sound
of wells were heard again how is that ? Said Mratha
Oh it must be boy’s
for their wage I will get it Sulaven
As he opened the
door and went out the yard a voice
called at him Grand pap
Sulaven could
recognise that voice any where even in a thousand miles it was Magness his
grand daughter
Magness he cried
out as he turned around till he could see the red frocked six year old running
towards him as she came towards him he took ed her in his arms and circled
around
Mangess had
almost forgotten what that felt like for a long time Magness was so happy that
she had forgotten all about doll she had
clutched to her chest in the car were
she had left it
Norman and
Agness had come in Martha on seeing her son ran towards him and embraced him,
what a surprise she said
It is a good to
be home Norman
Were is your
father Martha said he is out said with Magnes Norman
Angess who came
in with Norman
Dropped the suitcase
on a corner and took a good look at the room
It never in
remotely looked as if no one has been living in it for 2 years
It was Spike and
span Agness thought that as if she had come to some thing that had her name on
.
Mean while in
lush green year of Tillers
Peak
Don’t’ you want
too see and play on your swing Asked Sullivan
Magenss was
surprised to know that the swing was still there and grand pap had not taken it
away as Miss Mummfet takes away her toys and keeps in high places
She ran toward
the apple tree were the swing was
she stood frozen as she saw the swing it looked older her with dust all over
the seat
Webs had made
good use of the rope’s it was like pillar to make the webs strong Dry leaves
had made the carpet it looked as she had never know the swing at all But
hearing the voice of her grand father she quickly dusted the seat and sat down
even though the sight’s of the web’s frightened her
To Mangess more
than scary webs meant the smile and pat of her grandfather on her back
Yes that meet
the world to her so she started to swing
Sulaven the
protecting glide was in a distance as he came to magness aide Grand pap I am
here come and find me magness cried out
As she had
finished saying so she had a friendly knock on her heard it was Sulaven who
wanted to Surprise her
Tell me dear
Sulaven asked how is you new home have you made any new discoveries or friends
Mangess replied new home no place is good enough with out you Grand pap and
yes I have a new friend his name is
Andra his my best friend

Magness laughed no Grand pap his is 45 and is the land lord Magness said

But he did tell
me that school was a good place and he remembered going to school for the first
time said Magness school whey school said Sulaven

said Magness
Dad did not tell
me
Ok then you can

And then parked
for the time being
It is good to be
home Magnes said to her mind as she swing high with you under the apple tree
The week at
Tiller’s peak might have been nothing for Norman or Agress but it was the world
for Magness The birds its musical prayers the companion ship of Tillers Peak
brass which has been there for the Tillers through thick and thin and contend
presence an comforting hand of her Grand grading angle ‘Grand Pap Mr Sulavan
Yes in deed she
was once again the voice in the house
Making friends
with farmer she made everyone know that a friend of her grand father was a
friend of here’s running round around the bushes jumping on the hay stack wing
on her wing running thought the fields bossing her Grandma just for fun,
rooming around the house she new the house s it was a treasure in her hand even
the night’s were wonderful for it was a moment of expectation and suspense of
what the next day would bright her The Suspense and surprise of adventure for
Mangess was in the air The morning light that went through every corner of the
room gave her the thought’s but rather be in the company of her grand father
and of God’s wonderful creation
Even through Mr
Suavan was not around Mangness like a tail to a cat it never bothered Magness
The house would take over the comforting peak of her mind and still
It would be
waking on the air for her
But soon like as
Flower losses its elegance and fragrance it was time for Magness to go back to
Colorado and to a word of silence and thought of her own in to herself
It was Friday
afternoon the car started off the engine she embraced her grad dad as she did
her Granddad told her do come soon Mangess Ok Magness
And soon they
got on the car and was off as they waved buy to each other Magness turned back
waved to her grand parents as they soon they soon gradually disappeared form
her eyes and Tillers Peak as the car moved away from them her pounded as she
know the spring of her joy breath of freshness and words was moving from her
reach
She comforted herself
as they passed away from the Peak and through the fields and in to the open
road’s
She said to
herself
‘I will be back
it needs me her or is it I !
To my home – yes I will be
back ‘
