Chapter 13 Summary

One day Joel and Thacia arrive at Daniel's shop. Daniel has someone he wants Joel to

meet, so they leave Thacia alone while they go. Upon returning, they find her and Leah talking in the garden and Daniel is amazed because Leah hasn't let anyone see or talk to her in almost ten years. Thacia tells Daniel they have been talking about him but keeps the secret of how she approached Leah. At the first sight of Joel she begins to cringe again, so Joel and Thacia leave immediately, but not before she gives Leah a present of a beautiful embroidered girdle. Daniel realizes Leah has never owned any nice clothes, so he goes to a market and buys her some beautiful blue cloth, some thread, and a needle. She loves the material and soon begins to make herself a dress.
