Nazareth's Song (2007)
“Jeb had spent the afternoon with some of the men downtown, framing out the barbershop front for Lincoln. Before heading back to the parsonage, he stopped for coffee and took Beulah’s outdoor seating as a sign that he needed a break. Beulah appeared at once with the coffeepot and a cup, pleased that someone had noticed her new seating. “Coffee, black, Reverend. About time for school to be out.”“Angel’s walking them home today.”“I guess you’re not too happy with her seeing that boy of Asa Hopper’...s.”“Beulah, how’s the pie today?”“I’ll mind my own potaters, Reverend, but my oldest girl followed after the wrong boy once and it liked to have killed us all in the long run. It’s one thing to pet a stray. But quite another to let it in the house. You wont peach or lemon? That’s all we got left after the lunch hour today.”“Peach is fine.” Before she could disappear inside, Jeb said, “Beulah, Angel’s only fourteen. And I’m not her real daddy.
