"Oh, yes!" Emeline exclaimed, "your work is beautiful! My husband and I are building a home in Montana." She glanced up at Barnabas, then back to the gentleman. "We'd like a stained glass window...a transom, and an actual window. I think...well, we have a beautiful view of a waterfall from the main room, perhaps there would be a way to use the window to frame that view?"
In her head, it was an amazing combination! Again, she looked up at her husband. "We can try to sketch what it looks like." It would be a hard task from memory, to get the proportions right, but I think it could be really beautiful." She could easily picture it in her head, the clear glass revealing the falls, while colored stained glass leaves and flowers surrounded the view.

Pike sort of squinted and wrinkled up is nose. " Well now, hold yer horses," he requested. "Whot if'n we done a strip across the top, say maybe half a foot wide, an' then maybe had us a strip down each side, same width. Thet winda's, wait," he took out his wallet and thumbed through some papers till he pulled one out. "Says here she's a '6040'. Meanin'-"
"Yes sir, you're talking about a six foot wide, four foot tall window. Common size actually. She sits flush with the wall as opposed to a Bay window, which is actually three windows. Two side windows, and the center glass which extends outward. Oh, nearly forgot, I'm Jeremiah Penderson. Now Ma'am, a transom would likely be above a door, of which I have any number in stock. What your husband is talking is framing the front window with three pieces framing the top and the sides. A most impressive look for any home."
Pike stepped back, appraising some of the work he could see. "Up ta you, Em, I mean it's are house, you got as much say as me about whot goes in it, prolly more."
