Chapter XII
Lem found his father preparing his evening meal in the junkyard shack and not at all glad to see Lem. “What you want?” he asked. “If your aunt sent you down here to get money out of me, it ain't no sort of use. I ain't got a dollar to spare.” “She did n't send me; I come,” Lem told him.
