Doc entered the house as well. It was large and well kept. He had two bags with him, setting them by a chair as he entered. It wasn't long before he saw the Nanny and Gretel.
"Guten tag," he said kindly to the Nanny as he introduced himself. His Rheinlandic was limited to a few phrases so he hoped that she understood. For the moment, they were the only persons about.
The Nanny sat holding Gretel and Doc just encouraged her to do so for the moment.
"Gretel," Doc said kindly to her with a soft smile as he took a knee near her, "....or Pearl if you like." He gently placed a kind hand on her shoulder, hoping she wouldn't get frightened. "I am John. I want to be your friend.....you, your Mom and all who are here." He paused a moment as he tried to be gentle with her, "So, can we be friends? It's a start."
