“(He) walked a little behind so that Rabbit would not notice him. Rabbit told what they did. And what they did wasn’t what made (him) sick. That just seemed to him silly. It was the men who watched. Seeing Rabbit’s face under the streetlights, (he) knew what the watchers at the circus would look like.”

Dessie…
Tom…

“My father heard the shout ‘Woman’ and he knew. He tried to run and his leg rebroke under him and he crawled up the ragged slope to the roadbed where it was happening.”

Sweet Samuel is dead.
Adam goes to see “Kate.”

Timshel. Thou mayest. You may.

Caleb and Aaron … My only criticism so far is the reference of the King James Bible because it’s a poor translation.

Samuel and Lee—my dudes!

Cathy is Kate now…

I remember when I used to read fast…
Adam doesn’t want to tell the deputy what really happened to his shoulder… But the deputy finds out where Cathy went….

Adam, she told you what she was going to do… believe people when they tell you who they are, not what you think they are or want them to be.

“Cathy looked after him, and her eyebrows drew down in a scowl. She was not afraid of Lee, yet she was not comfortable with him either. But he was a good and respectful servant—the best. And what harm could he do her?”

Cathy Ames—what a horrible character in the best way possible.

Hello friends, followers, and whoever reads this. I’ve had GR for many years. I’ve been on here more often lately as a safe place from other social media sites.
Recently a dude here was messaging me and gave me major creep vibes. Please don’t be like that guy. I even changed my picture because of it. Take care, everyone.

Seeing Wanda in the park?

Pyramid herb party.

This story is nuts. I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much with the movie cos we all know how that can go…

This book is cracking me up…

I need to get on here more often. Amy Adams brought me to this book.

Been busy from moving. Backstory about the Osage, Mollie’s parents, Mollie’s upbringing, the “discovery” of oil in Osage territory.
