“...followed her down the file as if her #stiff back were a demand he could not refuse. Before the day was done, he was an expert on that back. It never compromised; it never admitted a doubt about its authority; never offered the merest commiseration. Though his muscles tightened until they became as inarticulate as bone...her back compelled him like an ultimatum: keep moving or go mad; I permit no other alternatives.” #QuotsyOct20
Julia helps Betsy with her sheet and pillowcase for the #Halloween “hen party” (just #us chickens). But boys manage to crash it, including that “big #stiff” Herbert Humphreys. Somewhat #factual, since the #BetsyTacy books are based on the author‘s life.
