“Peabody is all interested in a swallow that swoops over our heads, and Mrs Potter has to tie him to a low branch. I pulled a rusted wagon the whole way and now it sits between us.‘You’re not going in with me, are you?’ We are watching a burly man come out with a bag of grain over his shoulder. He heaves it into his pickup.‘You know we need the fresh air.’ Mrs Swift stops Mrs Potter from saying more.Mrs Swift hands me the fat leather envelope. ‘Count it twice,’ she says, and I slip it into the p...ocket of my overalls. Mrs Potter straightens her flappy hat. I pull my hair tight and take a deep breath and walk toward Red’s open door. I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t so worried about Cordelia.Feed stores smell nothing like Woolworths. The scent of many sweet bales of hay ﬁlls my nose, along with the donuts a lady is frying in the back corner. There are horse brushes and cowbells and halters and chicken feeders hanging on little pegs on the wall. Big burlap bags are heaped against one another on the floor.MoreLess Read More Read Less
