Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Past the End of the Pavement
She was peeling the first potato when, through the kitchen window, she saw them: Willie first and Tom at his heels. Without slackening their pace they scampered out of her sight toward the front, but in spite of their speed she gained a graphic impression of wor ried faces, unbelievably muddy garments, and general dishevelment and disarray. And on their heels a man came stalking, his face regis tering an expression of anger, disgust and dis pleasure. She had to look at him twice before she recognized him as Mr. Wilson, the pharma cist who lived across the alley from her.
Mrs. Farrier was never a person to jump to conclusions, but the conclusion now was ines capable: something had happened which in volved her boys and Mr. Wilson, and she knew that whatever it was, it was unpleasant. She wiped her hands and went to the door.
