"I see that there is a Jesus church here," she observes, and I nod. "Yeah, but it's pretty new. There weren't so many 'v us 'till late." I guess it's part 'a her bein' her group's leader when she asks And so your brother is an apostate? Cause it your family much discord?" Her way of speaking still stands out, even with the new people. "Similarities of doctrine there are not many between your church and mine, but I believe we both value community and family."
My back stiffens. "He's still my brother," I tell her, my voice cooling. "And no matter what the rest 'v 'em might think, you dunt toss your family over just 'cause you dunt approve 'a their choices." I press my lips together hard, tryin' not t'snap more.
"It was nice t'meet you, Mrs. Polly. I'm sure I shall see you about."
