Sure, everybody knows about Goat Dykeman. Old Ross turned that over in his mind before saying him nay, it stands to reason.
Unless he wants to give me a pat on the back for the trouble I took this morning. I done what I done for my own pure-D satisfaction. As soon as I heard wheels, I knowed who was coming. That was him and bound to be him. That was him. I knowed it when he cut off the car lights and put his foot out and I knowed him standing dark against the light. I knowed him then like I know me now.
I knowed him even by his still, listening back. As long as there was no question in my mind. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
