Notes

Write a note in this area. It's really easy to share wThe school days are hell for Ruby whenever she and Paul happen to meet. He eventually moves on to date a rich girl named Suzzette. Sometimes Ruby feels like telling him the truth and then she remembers Grandmere’s words about being the one to drive him from his family. I don’t agree with Grandmere on this one—Octavious is the one to blame here, not Ruby.

Sweet Ruby even shows some Heaven Leigh Casteel spirit when a girl in the school bathroom is nasty toward her regarding Paul and Suzzette. As time goes on, Paul gets more serious with Suzzette but occasionally Ruby finds him looking at her wistfully.



Summer begins and it’s hotter than Ruby can remember. The heat especially takes a toll on Grandmere, who refuses to stay home and not help when she’s called to. She is convinced that God put her on this Earth to help others in need. She’s honestly the best Christian in the series yet. One day Ruby goes out to her Grandpere’s shack because he’s stopped helping them out and tourist season is over. She is angry that he continues to spend what money he has left over on his booze instead of them.

Summer has made the swamp come even more alive, so much that Ruby describes it as being an animal itself. She arrives at her grandpere’s shack to hear a racket coming from inside. Then a chair is thrown out into the swamp, followed by a pot. Her grandpere comes out stark naked, a bull whip in his hand. He begins to act like there’s an invisible creature trying to get him.



Ruby recalls these fits that her grandmere used to tell her about, caused by the booze soaking into her grandpere’s brain. She moves back so he cannot see her and waits until he passes out. Going to check on him, she covers him with a blanket before she begins to vent her anger at him, screaming about how she hates being a Landry. She finds it’s easy to get all of this anger out when he’s unconscious. She even tells him to go ahead and guzzle his rotgut whiskey until he dies. Disgusteith others. Click here ...
