Michael Malone - Weebly

Maynard Henry, cursing loudly against the Haigs'
trespass on his life, had kicked out, in a sudden spasm,
at the flimsy paneled wall.
Behind it, Limus Barnum felt the tremors of anger
with a thrill.
Sarah's voice sharpened; she spun Henry away
from the wall.
"Jesus love us! If I let myself fly off the handle
whenever I felt like it like you do, they'd have put me in
a nuthouse years ago. Jesus! I'm trying to help you, and
I have to look at enough temper tantrums at home
without having to watch you have one at your age. Now
you can think anything you want to, but it won't be true.
If Chink, Chin, is staying out at Judith's, the thing for
you to do, wait a minute, let me get a pencil, here, I'll
write it down.…See you, Doris. Hon, Wanda's sitting
over there by herself, would you tell her I'm in the can
and I'll be out in a sec? Thanks…is call her and tell her
you're coming out there. And if you'll take my advice,
you'll just thank her for trying to be a good neighbor
and let bygones be bygones. Now, Hawk'll be at the
station most of the night, that's why I say try her now.
