QUOTE : Miss Dandridge?” She turned to find the lieutenant standing at the back door. “I wonder if you might have a few minutes to walk outside with me. It’s real nice outside—a little chilly, but the stars are out.” He grinned. “I know it might not be in keeping with proper etiquette, but I’d like to talk to you for a few minutes.” Hannah smiled. “At times the rules of proper society get only a head nod on the frontier. I think we can make an exception. Let me grab a wrap.” She dried her hands but didn’t pull off her apron. Instead, she went to where the lieutenant stood and motioned behind him. “My shawl is just there, if you’ll allow me to get it.” “Here, let me.” He took hold of the brown wool shawl and helped Hannah to adjust it around her shoulders. “There.” “Thank you, Lieutenant.” She allowed him to open the back door and escort her outside.
