“They put Gray in charge of collecting the tickets that the crowd had purchased from the ticket booth at the head of the row. Their prices were posted on a board at front: four tickets for a sandwich with potato salad or coleslaw, eight tickets for a plate that included two sides and dessert. Most people took the plate.
Harris kept his concentration on slicing brisket. Fortunately, his best slicing knife had survived the flood, thanks to Darcy’s insistence on taking the knives with them. He and ...Chico made up a steady stream of plates filled with brisket or pork or sometimes both for people who were willing to kick in a few extra tickets.
