Goode. She does like to put on
the dog whenever there's any sort of a to-do."
"Now, Mama, you can't talk about infares," Walker said. "You
fixed quite a dinner yourself the day y'all welcomed Anna into
the family. Remember? You had enough grub cooked up for a
log-rolling?
"It was nice," Anna told Mama.
"Aw, I'm afraid it wasn't much!"
"Walker, is Lucille anybody I've met over here?"
"No, Anna, you don't know her. She's a girl Old Man Hawk and
his wife raised. She's their niece. Mama, did Lucille and Ollie
have their wedding at Mister Hawk's house?"
"Why, no. They were just like nearly all the other young
couples around Drake Eye Springs. One preaching Sunday they come
driving up to the church in Ollie's buggy. It was right after
services. And they didn't even step down outta the buggy. Folks
who hadn't already gone home lingered around 'cause they saw
something was up. Both Lucille and Ollie were dressed fit to
kill. As soon as the preacher came outta the meeting house, he
took his stand by the side of the buggy and started the ceremony.
