passage?
What type of conflict is it?
v
Reverend Buckminster licked his lips. "What were you
doing on Malaga Island?"
What could he say? That he had practiced with Lizzie,
dug for clams, and eaten them later in a chowder so good
that he might have given up Eden for it? That he had
spread his arms and flown with the Tripps? That he had
sat quietly by the water's edge and dreamed dreams?
That he had found a place that was more home than
home?
