Quote #10
Mr. Armond was sitting on the front piazza of the big house the way he had been sitting the first time Tom came. As soon as they got up to where the lawns started, his eyes showed bright, hard blue, the same as they had the first time, but there was a questioning look in them, so Tom realized that Mr. Armond didn't recognize who he was. That made Tom feel good inside. Having things happen bit by bit you didn't realize how big the changes were. (63.9)
Since the last time he has seen Mr. Armond, Tom has taken down the Breen barn, built it up again on his property, found the Breen money, purchased a new team of horses and a wagon, and made a plan to turn his family's property into a paying farm. That's a whole lot of catching up to do. As he pulls up to the Armond place in a suit and new wagon, it's clear that he has come a long way.
