Talk

1. “Hettie Dusty. I keep the place. Nobody asked me to. Nobody asked me to leave either.”
2. “Forty years out here. The well's low, the cows wandered off, and the neighbors are under the hill. It's quiet. You get used to quiet.”
3. “I still set a plate for him every night. He hasn't come to supper since he died. It's a habit, not a hope.”
4. “Folks come by now and then. I give them water. They give me news. The news is always worse. The water's always the same.”
5. “I married him for his hat. That's what I tell people. It was a very good hat.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

• “Go on, then. Everybody goes on. That's what the road's for.”
• “Fine. I'll tell the plate you said goodbye.”
• “Off you go. Mind the coffee smell. It means nothing good.”
