It’s nice to read how corrupt politicians and elections were were 100 years ago. Soothing, in a way. Reassuring, you might say. Or maybe not.

What was in Sissy’s box that the kids dangled out the window on a string, thereby disgracing the family so that they had to move? I am either hopelessly inattentive or hopelessly naive. Even at my age, lol. But I really an enjoying this book. I don’t believe I’ve read it since 7th grade.
