Hulga a.k.a. Joy Timeline and Summary

  • Hulga has breakfast Saturday morning.
  • She's planning to meet Manley Pointer at 10:00 AM.
  • They made the date yesterday after he'd had lunch with her and her mother after trying to sell her mother a Bible.
  • She and Manley walk, kiss, and talk about God and nothing; Hulga thinks she's appreciating the conversation on a deeper level than Manley.
  • When Manley suggests they find a place to "sit down" (104), Hulga leads him to the barn loft.
  • He kisses her more, tells her he loves her, and asks her to tell him she loves him.
  • She explains she doesn't believe in love, but says she loves him anyway.
  • When he asks her to show him how to take off her wooden leg, she agrees, even though the idea at first upsets her.
  • After he refuses to give it back, she gets very upset.
  • She watched Manley run off with her leg in his Bible case.
