Mr. Karlsson as he ponders the new girl

Sigvard Karlsson grunted happily when the door closed behind the two girls. "Beautiful girl, right David?"

David blushed and avoided Sigvard's eyes. "Yes," he said. "Very."

"Beautiful" was an understatement. The girl was as sweet as the sun, with her light curly hair and shy manner. When Mark had sent the letter, he had mentioned his daughter's obedience and willingness to work, but completely missed that he had raised an angel the last eighteen years. Sigvard felt something move between his pants and he sensed that David was struggling with the same thoughts. Sigvard smiled inside - when he hired Sara, the idea was to lure his son out of his shell, give him a chance to grow out of that shyness of his. But while Sara was a beautiful, young girl, it quickly became clear where her interests lay. And it had not been with David.
