Big Cherry Holler (2001)
“Alice Lambert is getting a send-off worthy of a statesman. The women in town have come down and taken over her little pink house by the brown river. They’ve scrubbed the windows, vacuumed, and waxed the kitchen floor; they wash her clothes, they bathe her; and the delectable food dropped off in shifts is not to be believed. Ethel Bartee even came over and did Alice’s hair. And folks can’t help but comment that “Alice Lambert is as sweet as pie.” And she is.
Doc Daugherty told me that it’s a mat...ter of days for Alice. He can’t say how many, and in a way, I don’t want to know. I go and see her every day (as do the other ladies), and it’s strange to say this, but I think these are the happiest days of her life.
I am sitting in the living room with Aunt Alice. Ethel gave her an upsweep with tendrils worthy of the great Loretta Lynn at the Grand Old Opry. She even wears a little lipstick. There’s a rap on the door; it’s Spec.
“My wife done made you a cobbler, Alice. How do you like rhubarb?”MoreLess
