"That's so nice of you," Sunny said, beaming to herself at the stir of beginning friendship she felt for this plain woman. "Please don't bother, though. And I'd love to come visit you, but it will depend on whether I can rent a buggy at the stables. Besides never having shot a gun, I've never learned to ride a horse either."
"My, my," Mary said with a gentle smile, which made Sunny completely disregard her ordinary features. "We've got lots to do to turn you into a Western woman."
A flash of movement drew Sunny's attention across the street as the Ranger surged to his feet.
"Mary!" he shouted. "Ring the fire bell! Miss Foster's house is on fire!"
Sunny froze for a second as Mary whirled away. Miss Foster's house? Her aunt's house was on fire?
Heart pounding, Sunny whirled and stared back down the walkway, but she could only see the front of her aunt's house from her position. Picking up her skirts, she raced out into the street, where she would have a better view, like the Ranger had from the other side.
Oh, my Lord! Smoke drifted from the rear of the house!
