It’s mostly Caldwell dawdling, prolonging the walk as if he’s avoiding his destination. He isn’t afraid of his home or his wife, but he certainly acts like he is. If the Reverend has anywhere he needs to get to urgently, he’d be wise to cut Jacob loose. Happenstance drew them together, and politeness chained them there. It’s difficult to offend him, either way, it’s just that he forgets how one holds polite conversation. Where does one begin!
‘I think I’d get nervous, speaking in front of all of those people. I suppose you’re used to it, by now?’
