Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

Reverend Buckminster sighed. "It doesn't matter if it's true. It matters what people think. It matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a black girl on Malaga Island. It doesn't matter at all how she got you out there."

"It matters to me," Turner whispered.

"Speak up!"

"It matters to me."

The grim silence circled the room like an eager tiger. It flicked its tail greedily at them, circling, circling, circling. Turner felt that it was about to pounce, claws fully out.

And then it did.

"Forbidden is forbidden. You will stay in the house for the next two weeks, Turner. If I cannot trust you not to go to the island, then I will have to keep you under my eye. You may not leave here except for church services. And this means that you may not go down to the docks today."

"They're not down on the docks."

"Speak up, Turner. Good Lord, don't mumble like a little whipped boy."

"They're not down on the docks."
