Excerpt from The Middle Pasture
Father was raving, tearing mad because somebody had poisoned our dog, Ben. He was using language, I can tell you, about what he meant to do when he found out who did it and Aunt Em and Aunt Sally were trying to see who could talk the fastest saying who they thought did it.
If I knew who the wretch was I 'd break his neck, said father very quietly, and all White in the face. He was always like that when he was mad. Uncle George would slam things and holler at people, but father just turned white, and talked very low and you got out of the way.
