- First words
- Puzzled and uneasy, Tommy Stafford measured out cow feed in the shed behind the parsonage. In all his twelve years he could not remember such a quiet morning. Why weren't Mother and Father talking? They usually chattered like... (show all) magpies before Father went to the tiny study and worked on his next sermon. Fourteen-year-old Celia was not up yet, or she would have questioned the silence in her impulsive way.
- Last words
