Mama
Quote 4
"Haven says he's a worker. And I say the Bascom place never looked better. She couldn't of done it alone, run that farm. Life ain't easy for a widow woman."
"Easy's the word for her."
"What goes on under a neighbor's quilt is nought to me," said Mama. (9.16-18)
The community may have strict rules about the proper behavior of a widow and her hired man, but to Mama, the rule of minding your own business comes first. Way to be a stand-up lady, Mama. We know it's tough.
