Quote #10
Then Rab began to smile. Everything he had never put into words was in that smile. (12.4.26)
Hang on while we go through this box of tissues. Rab, a true Silsbee, has never been given to expressions of emotion. He's telling Johnny everything he never was able to express, through a single smile. As he's dying. What is Rab telling Johnny? What was he never able to say? Why must you toy with our hearts like this, Esther Forbes?
