Everything felt all strange at our house that evening, even though we all went about doing what we usually did. Aunt Bett went home after hugging all of us and telling Crystal, “It will be okay. We’ll find a way.” Crystal washed up the dishes while I got Little Ellis and Molly in bed, but after that we sat at the kitchen table together and just thought hard, trying to find out how to keep Molly with us. A knock at the back door, and Crystal and I both jumped. But when Crystal opened the door, it was Aunt Mee, standing there with a basket of fresh butterbeans.

“I just came over to bring you all some butterbeans, if you can use them,” she said, holding out the basket. “My old garden is cranking out more than I can use this year,” she added. “You feeling better, Crystal?” she asked carefully.

“Yes, thank you,” Crystal said, taking the basket. “And please don’t go.”

To me, Crystal said, “I think we should tell Aunt Mee about what’s going on and ask advice from someone with such a good head. The more folks we got figuring for us, the better.”

“Well, I don’t know just how good my old head is,” Aunt Mee protested. “But if I can help with anything, I will. You all know that.”

“Come on and sit down,” Crystal swung her arm toward the kitchen table.
