Good morning, Lydia. That was a really nice Carolyn-David scene. NOW I buy that Carolyn cares about him. If only they'd kept on explaining and showing characters' emotional changes in this way, in later years... Same for the following Vicki-David scene. Thank you, Ron Sproat.
Dear me, David's never going to get it right if Vicky keeps talking about direct objects. Direct objects are not memorable to little boys.
He seemed to be getting it just fine... you're right about me though, certainly. I learned grammar, but only after I made a conscious decision not to pay any more attention to "parts of speech", and what they were called. That was making it all too complicated to keep track of. Then I just sort of absorbed the rules.... most of them.
The Collinsport library looks amazingly like the Stockbridge crypt library.
