“Jürgen’s coming home for Christmas,” Mrs. Kiesler announced.
“That’s great news,” Mr. Kiesler replied. “But, somehow you don’t seem very happy about it.”
“Of course, I’m happy that he’s spending Christmas with us.”
“Then, what’s wrong?”
“I’m thinking about what Lena said.”
“About seeing Jürgen with a teenage girl when Gunther and she visited Hamburg?”
“Yes.”
“But, she admitted that she was mistaken. Besides, Jürgen is a priest.”
“I know, but–”
“But, what?”
“Jürgen’s bringing someone.”
“Who?”
“An orphan.”
“How fortunate for that little boy or girl.”
“It’s a teenage girl.”
“You’re not thinking…?”
“I don’t know what to think.”

Notes to Women 
Dear Adele,
I’d be suspicious of that “orphan”, too. The plot thickens.

Dear Rochelle,
This is the sequel to Mistaken Identity. And, you’re right, she has reason to be suspicious of that “orphan.” This is going to be a very interesting Christmas.
Shalom,
Adele

Hold your breath, don’t let him leave her in your hands, good Samaritan or not. However I think he has been smitten by the girl, to him she is a lost soul. Nothing good will come from this, me thinks.

Now that Jurgen is bringing home a teenage orphan girl, his mother can’t help but wonder if it was him whom the neighbors saw when they were in Hamburg. Thanks 🙂
