Quote #10
By noon, half the town draped themselves over Miss Rose's yard, chatting and eating lunches they'd brought over themselves. Thes and Reverend Thompson nudged in among the Azalea Women, who'd claimed the garden table. Atilla Celeste and her mother sat by their Cadillac, eating grapes and carrot sticks. Skeeter's folks spread a blanket on the lawn. (21.20)
Tupelo Landing is the kind of place where you don't have to invite people over for lunch because they just randomly show up. It's a good thing that Miss Rose is used to this kind of thing and doesn't get annoyed at the whole town setting up for lunch in her front yard.
