JEAN CRAIG IN NEW YORK
1. Jean Finds a Stranger
ssss1
It was just five days before Christmas when a pink express card arrived in the noon mail. The Craigs knew there must be something unusual in the mail, for Mr. Ricketts, the rural free delivery carrier, had lingered at the end of the drive.
Jean, the oldest of the four children, slipped into a coat and stadium boots and ran down the drive to see what he wanted.
“There’s something for you folks at the express office, I guess. If it’s anything heavy I suggest you go down and get it today. Looks like we’d have some snow before nightfall.” He waited while Jean glanced at the card. “Know what it is?”
“Why, no, I don’t believe I do,” she answered. “We’ve gotten all our Christmas packages. Maybe they’re books for Dad.”
