Trouble With The Truth (9781476793498) - Plot & Excerpts
But San Francisco is distinguished to me because Aunt Catherine didn’t visit us there, because Ben and I were in the same class there, because Ben made his first public theatrical appearance there, because Fred almost left our employ there, and because of Miss Narcissa Bunce. We lived there in what we ever afterward referred to as “the leaky house.” It was a small, weather-stained cedar affair that listed carelessly to the east on the crest of a west-bent rise, a position that allowed it to store water in mysterious pockets between its sloping roof and off-level ceilings and disperse it in constant rhythmic drip-drops for days after a rain subsided. Our school there, a mile across the indigenous hills, was brick again and harbored the same hot smells and disciplined fidgeting we’d become familiar with. And, we soon realized, when Ben and I and our transfer cards arrived in its principal’s office, its board of education was operating within—well within—a particularly stringent budget.
