Daisy: I know it's hard Rosoce, but try to hang on. . .Enos really needs me right now. . .It's barely nine and he's almost gone through a whole jug of buttermilk.
(oh yeah. . .I keep forgeting) Daisy: *trying not to cry* I know Roscoe. . .Enos won't be there today, I don't know that the boys will either. . .Think you can handle?
Luke: Yeah, but we were the ones who were supposed to look out for her. Just then the boys looked toward the house and saw their uncle looking at them.
