Chapter 3
When Elsa had arrived at the Schultz's home, she was greeted by their butler and then joined the Baroness and Baron for pastries and tea.
"Franz, Anna, how wonderful to see you again. We have so much to discuss," said Elsa.
She had on her charming smile as she shook the hands of her dear friends.
"How wonderful to see you, as well," said Franz.
"We will discuss our underground activity after breakfast. We've talked to Father Grubber and Mother Margareta. They have agreed to help us and are meeting us at 10:00 this morning at the cathedral," whispered Anna, not to be overheard by the staff.
Elsa smiled. She was exited and a bit nervous about the work that she had wanted to do. It was wonderful to know that their priest and a Reverend Mother from a nearby convent were helping them as well.
The rest of breakfast was spent talking about the Schultz's daughter Gertrude's engagement and wedding plans. Gertrude was attending a music academy and completing a degree in piano performance. If she was available she would have joined them for breakfast.
"I'm sorry to say, but something dreadful has happened to the dress I was going to wear to Gertrude's engagement party tonight, so I will have to get another one today," said Elsa.
"I'll go shopping with you for on the way back from our meeting." said Anna.
"Thank you Anna. You are a dear friend," said Elsa.
"You are welcome Elsa. I enjoy your friendship as well." Said Anna.
"Well ladies, we should be heading to the cathedral soon," said Franz.
"You are right dear. Let's go, "said Anna.
They drove to the cathedral knowing that they were going to plan what was right.
