Miz Agnes # 51
There was such an arrival of
> big Daddy’s friends that
> Agnes feared the great hall
> would burst at the seams
> if even one more person
> came.
>
> There had not been
> that many people at Ashland
> since the ill-fated wedding.
>
> Agnes watched with joy as
> Big Daddy greeted everyone.
> He seemed his old self as
> he welcomed each one to
> his home.
>
>
> Agnes could tell
> that he made
> each of them feel almost
> like the guest of honor
> instead of himself.
> And she marveled at the
> grandness of the man
> she loved so.
>
> “It is amazing how your Father
> commands the room
> with his presence, Miz Agnes.
> I don’t believe I have ever
> felt such love and respect
> in one place for
> anyone before.”
>
> “That is very kind of you,
> Ethan, but I do agree.
> My world is complete
> when he is here.”
>
> “I believe his to be also,
> Agnes.”
