Excerpt

He inhaled deeply. Looked down at his hands. Then he smiled at her. A real smile intended for friends. “I took a walk yesterday.” 

  

She swallowed her questions and let him speak. So much he didn’t know. So much he did.  

  

“I’ve brought you these. It’s a beginning.”  

  

He peered into the bag. “What kind of process made these books?” He fingered the almanac. “Naught but paper and glue. Cheap to print and cover. I could sell these for a good profit.” He glanced up. “What kind of paintings are these? I’ve not seen their like.” 

  

Oh boy. Pictures.  

  

“It’s a technology called photography. It was invented about—hold on let me see.” She pulled out her cell phone and conducted a quick search. “About 1839 if Wiki is to be believed.” 

  

“What is that?” He pointed to her phone.  

  

“Many things. First let’s start with photography, then we can get to the telegraph.” She opened her camera. “Hold still.” And there he was in her phone. She navigated to the picture. “Here you are.” 

  

His puzzled look remained as he studied her phone.  

  

“Wait. This will probably make more sense.” She retrieved her phone and took a selfie. “There I am.” 

  

“I want one of those.”
