![]() ![]() The club that Dad and Richard had never been able to enter. ![]() They they take Dan to dinner and buy him a beer.ĭan had fought, and survived, like a man. They x-ray his nose (no fracture) and his wrist (hairline fracture) and his thumb (clearly fractured). ![]() I think he'll have a fit over Dan losing the contact lenses, for not winning decisively, for the potential trouble from the school, the cops, anything that would occur to Dad, but it doesn't happen.ĭad is uncharacteristically understanding, comforting even, and he and Richard had dropped all they were doing that afternoon and drove to Dennis's to pick Dan up and take him to the emergency room. Since both Dan and I have been the victims of Dad's explosive and illogical temper, we both expect and dread the further punishment headed our way, when he gets there. This fight had been city versus farm, and the city had repeatedly conned its way out of a sound beating at the hands of the farm.ĭennis's mother had called Dad, had explained what happened, and Dad said he would be right over. ![]()
