seconds he didn't speak, and just watched us. Then he said, "I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Sanders. I need

name. Can you ride?"
     "Yes," I said, "I can ride a horse."
     "You can ride Smoke around the island, if you like."
     "I'd like that," I said, "Thank you."
     "And we grow vegetables and fruit." he said, "I work on the farm sometimes. I enjoy it." 
     I smiled at him but he didn't smile back.
     "Carol will enjoy working on the farm," said my mother, "Won't you, Carol?"
