Day 18 Chapter 20
Chapter 20
All the kids were outside playing and this man came in as Grant was working on his papers, the man didn't say much but Grant knew what he was trying to say, they set the date for Jefferson's execution. Grant had to go up to Pichot's house to talk to him and the sheriff, when he made it there he seen Reverend Ambrose's car. When Inez opened the door for him, she asked if he wanted coffee and he said no, Reverend Ambrose asked him how was everything going, Grant said everything was good. Inez came back and told Grant that the sheriff wold be coming within fifteen to twenty minutes, which had Grant questioning because they did him like this last time. The sheriff came fifteen minutes later, Pichot and the sheriff wanted them to come to the fronts , which was strange because Grant or Reverend Ambrose never went anywhere besides the kitchen, Grant wanted Reverend Ambrose to go first but he precede that Grant should go first. They schedule that execution to April the eighth and they git Miss Emma a doctor because they know that she haven't been feeling well about the execution and she would feel even worst when she finds out that its has to be before or after Easter. Grant couldn't get the execution date out of his mind, he just couldn't get how they could just come up with a date and time for somebody to die. When they left, Reverend Ambrose asked if he drive, Grant said no and that he walked, he said that he need a time fir himself because he just cant go home right away and tell Miss Emma about the execution so he just walked a couple of miles. Grant wished that it was nobody with him but Vivian, and that they could walk with each other forever.
