Question

read the excerpt from chapter 6 of lizzie bright and the buckminster boy.

\may i ask why? or is this something else that wasnt intended to embarrass the new minister?\

\because i wanted to know if it was true.\

\if what was true?\

\if lizzie was lying to me. if all she wanted to do was to get me on her side so she wouldnt have to leave the island.\

reverend buckminster sighed. \it doesnt matter if its true. it matters what people think. it matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a negro girl on malaga island.\
