"What Sheriff Elwell said."

"What did he say?"

"You always answer with a question, Turner."

"What did the sheriff say?"

"See?"

"Lizzie, what did–"

"That Willis Hurd dared you to come out to talk to a Negro. That he dared you to come out to the island. That you didn't care a penny's worth about me or my granddaddy. And that you can't hardly wait till we clear out – just like all the rest of the town."

"That's what the sheriff said?"

She glared at him.

"Lizzie, I swear to you, as sure as I'm standing right here – that's a lie. Every bit of it. Every single bit."

–Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,
Gary D. Schmidt
