“What the child clamors for is the story of their own family, of the widower’s house into which her grandmother married, a landlocked dwelling in a land of water, a house full of mysteries. But such memories are woven from gossamer threads; time eats holes in the fabric, and these she must darn with myth and fable.”

“She had learned a lesson: to show weakness, to be tearful or shattered didn’t serve her. One shouldn’t just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.”

“Death is always a harsh taskmaster, and it serves no one for me to succumb to despair. In that moment, I resolve to bury the memory of our last conversation forever. Mr. Morgan gave me so much that I treasure, and I have always known that he treasured me. It can only diminish his life to remember the angry, despairing man he became in the last months of his life.”

“According to manners, there are only two things in the world a person is allowed to eat with fingers: a vegetable I do not recall and fried chicken. Which works out good since that’s the way fried chicken tastes best. This chicken is crispy and brown on the outside, but when I take a bite, oh it is too hot! I cover my mouth with my hand so not to chew with it open. Breathe and chew and keep a eye on my plate. Lord, I will be a hundred and still making sure nobody steals my damn food.”
