I do not own Liberty's Kids or any of the main characters.

For the rest of the morning Sarah found herself all a jitter. She did not know why but as she cleared the table of breakfast she could clearly see her shaking hands and feel her racing heart. Well who was she kidding, she knew why she was shaking: she was nervous. What if she didnt like the man? What if she did? This all could be the start of the rest of her life. She didnt know what exactly she wanted. She rather hoped that in fact this was all some joke Henri was pulling and there really had been no man who had come to call on her. That however she knew would be too easy.

In the next room James also found himself shaken up. He was not setting the type as carefully as before and realized only in a last read through that he had put some of the letters the wrong way so that geueral washinbtou was going to delipeldhia. He was sure that Sarah would have screamed for ages at him if he had done that to her wonderful article. He soon began to think of Sarah and then this drive that he had said he would chaperone. Why had he done that? Now he would be spending his day listening to Sarah and some overly English general or something. He did not know what he would do or where they would go. Was he suppose to talk or stay quiet? Did he look at them or stay invisible? What did a chaperone have to do? He knew in theory what they were there for but this just made him panic. What was he to do if his job as chaperone required him to reprimand the couple? He suddenly become more nervous and decided that it was best to simply try to make his presence known at various points and then leave them alone for the other times. This plan comforted him very little and soon James returned to his badly set type wondering why he had ever opened his big mouth.

Sarah soon moved on to cleaning the shop for the rest of the morning feeling her heart settling a little as she began to think that the man truly was not going to come. Though just as she was finishing the sweeping in the kitchen she heard a knock from the front and she almost dropped the broom. She could hear Henri opening the door and enthusiastically greeting the man.

"Sarah! Moses! Come quickly! The man is here to see Sarah."

Sarah left the broom in the corner straightened out her hair and dress and walked out to the door holding her breath all the while. As she slowly made her way down the hall one step at a time she could hear Moses' voice instructing the man.

"Welcome. Im Moses and I work here. It's a pleaser to have you here Mr..." His voice trailed off as he waited for the stranger to fill in the rest.

"Ah, Im Master Ericson from London." Sarah's breath caught in her throat. This was the person who would be courting her. His voice sounded beautiful, containing a certain softness that she had not heard since she had been in America. She walked forward to the landing just as she heard Moses continuing.

"Ah well Master Ericson, so great to meet you. Sarah should be here any min-" He stopped mid sentence as Sarah walked through the door.

She began to look the man up and down. He was very beautiful. Tall and slender with a very clean look to him. His eyes were a warm brown and showed a sence of kindness to them, his clothes were well pressed but not overly showy. After a moment all Sarah could think was that he look decidedly British. He reminded her of home,his softness, his courtly appearance and his graceful elegance. She smiled at the sight of him.

"You must be Miss Sarah Phillips." He said with a smile, as he took her hand and gave it a small kiss. "I am Master Ericson, of the Ericson estates in London, I am so pleased to finally meet you Miss Phillips." Sarah blushed slightly and smiled, her heart warming at his gentlemanly nature. This man really was from home.

"Well" Said Moses suddenly, causing the others to jump. "Were doing a lot of work here on the newspaper and its such a nice day out so if you dont mind our workman James said that he would happily drive the two of you around the area for the afternoon."

"That sounds very lovely." Ericson said sincerely. "I havent really been in the colonies long, and would love to have a tour of this quaint city. Im sure Miss Phillips would be able to show me around, and your right it is very lovely outside." He finished with a broad smile to Sarah who could not help but smile back.

"Excellent" She said quickly. "I believe that James is out in the barn hooking up the horse. Shall we go over there and see him?" She suggested as she began to turn and go to the barn. She soon heard Ericson following her as they made their way to the barn.

"Well you certainly like to take things into your own hands dont you?" She heard him call. Though not in a mean way, almost as though he thought it was rather curious.

"Yes, I do." Said Sarah firmly as she turned around at the barn to look at her possible beau and smiled at him.
