Ramona And Her Father
“He had a job! The morning after New Year’s Day he was to report for training as a checker in a chain of supermarkets. The pay was good, he would have to work some evenings, and maybe someday he would get to manage a market!
After that telephone call Mr. Quimby stopped reaching for cigarettes that were not there and began to whistle as he ran the vacuum cleaner and folded the clothes from the dryer. The worried frown disappeared from Mrs. Quimby’s forehead. Beezus looked even more calm and seren...e. Ramona, however, made a mistake. She told her mother about her tight shoes. Mrs. Quimby then wasted a Saturday afternoon shopping for shoes when she could have been sewing on Ramona’s costume. As a result, when they drove to church the night of the Christmas-carol program, Ramona was the only unhappy member of the family.
Mr. Quimby sang as he drove: “There’s a little wheel a-turning in my heart.
There’s a little wheel a-turning in my heart.”
Ramona loved that song because it made her think of Howie, who liked machines.MoreLess
