“In retrospect, it probably would have been 🍑 es and cream if Woolly had thought to set the thesaurus on fire on the fifty-yard line. But for some reason Woolly couldn’t quite remember, he had put the book in the end zone, and when he’d thrown the match, the flames had quickly followed a trail of gas that had been sloshed on the grass, engulfed the gas can, and triggered an explosion that set the goalpost on fire.”

“Christine saw my father at a clinic in La Crosse, a small city along Wisconsin’s western border with Minnesota, a place known to most, now, for having lent an archaic Old French version of its name to America’s most popular brand of flavored sparkling water, La Croix, a drink concocted there in the early ’80s and eventually sold to a publicly traded holding company based, for the tax purposes of its owner, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.”

“Just remember this, Mr. Potter: that this rabble you’re talking about—they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?
