Velva Jean Learns to Drive
“They were buying it practically new from a man Mr. Deal had known for ten years, a man named Lenny Philpot, who owned two drugstores and a movie theater. They were going to stay the night at Mr. Philpot’s house and then start back in the truck early the next morning. Johnny Clay and me thought we should be allowed to go, too, because he was fourteen and I was twelve, but Danny said we had to stay at home.
Sweet Fern was so on edge, all you had to do was walk up behind her and say boo and she ju...mped about ten feet. She did not believe in trucks or cars or driving, especially since she had heard about a woman in Swain County who was run over by a car that was “out of control.” The very fact that a car could run out of control was enough for Sweet Fern. She would have none of it, especially with young children to think of. She told Danny he had another think coming if he thought he was going to bring that truck up there to her house.
It was the first time I ever saw Danny stand up to her.MoreLess
