Lizzie Bright And The Buckminster Boy - Plot & Excerpts
But if Turner happened to climb down the granite ledges to the muddy shore, and if Lizzie Bright happened to have come over in her dory to dig clams ... well, Reverend Buckminster had said nothing about not talking with her, or throwing a baseball with her, or sitting by the green-blue sea with her. And so he did. Almost every day. And on the way back into town, he came up with something to tell his father. In fact, Reverend Buckminster was surprised at his son's new and urgent interest in bird watching. It was an interest, he remarked, that Turner shared with the young Charles Darwin. Turner, who had never heard of Charles Darwin, cocked an eyebrow and nodded. He supposed that this was so. He was glad of it. And his father's smile made him feel as if he might be worth something after all—until he remembered he was out-loud lying. Turner hoped Charles Darwin wasn't a minister. He hoped he lived in the Territories.
