He took care to tell the next man sooner and the man’s face looked almost as if he were dodging a blow but he went on by, looking back a few steps later with a worried face; and after a few steps more he turned and came slowly back.
“What was that you said, sonny?” he asked; he was frowning slightly.
“My daddy’s dead,” Rufus said, expectantly.
