head up and winked towards the door.
    Stumbling back against the wall, Ella gasped, “Ah”, and rushed off nervously, as Saul continued,
laughing.
Ella made it back into the kitchen quickly and was still nervous, Brenda asked, “Did you find the
bathroom ok sugar?” Ella just nodded with her eyes very big.
Phone ringing, and Brenda clearing off the table went answering it.
“Hello?”
“Hello, look I can hear you breathing”.
Sour look, Brenda seem to be getting aggravated, as her hand swung and putting the dirty dishes
in the sink Ella rolled her eyes.
Brenda become surprised and her black eyebrows raised high she said, “Seth!”
“Sure hold on girl”.
    Holding the receiver, Brenda told Ella, “Can you believe it a darn girl?” Now yelled, “Seth”.
Ella and Brenda giggled when Seth rushed into the kitchen and his maw reached the phone to
him.
“Who is it?” Brenda batted her eyelashes saying, “Woo-wee a girl”.
Ella smiled as she started washing the dishes and Seth took the receiver, “Hello?”
“Hello, are you there?”
    Brenda was now helping Ella and they both looked at Seth that said, “Maw no one was there”.
“Boy it was a girl wanting you”, replied Brenda holding the dishtowel he just shook his long curls
and replied, “Big deal”, walking away.
Phone ringing again, as Ella now rose her red eyebrows and Brenda threw the dishrag.
    Rambling on with her eyebrows rose as usual, “I’m changing this number for sure”, she said,

He took it covering the receiver and said, “Heck I wish I knew who this chick is”.

“Hello?”
    Brenda was back helping Ella, as they both listened to him keep asking, “Hello?”
Seth seem to be getting upset, he kept saying, “Woe, hold up here”.
“Hey why are you crying girl?”
“Wait, how you know my name?”
Brenda with Ella were both really looking at him, because he was highly upset and hollering into
the receiver a lot.
    His father and three brothers comes into the kitchen when Paul Gene pointing asked,
“What’s up with him, he looks jittery?” Brenda shrugged drying a dish, as everyone looked at
Seth and listen.
Then Seth slammed the receiver down with his family staring at him and Ella too.
    Filling his mouth with chewing tobacco, Paul Gene asked, “Seth boy you look like you saw a
ghost”.
Seth was quiet and as he went to walk away, stumbled into the china hutch and almost went
down.
Suddenly, he did go down on the floor and his brothers rushed over to him.
     
His parents both at the same time yelled, “SETH!”
    Ella was shocked along with the rest of the family that was all knelt down to him on the kitchen
floor in Saul’s arms.
Paul Gene said, “Boy tell me what that there call was about”.
“She is going to kill herself”.
    Everyone looked stunned and froze actually, Paul Gene asked, “Who is boy?”
“Paw I don’t know, because I barely heard her over crying”.
Saul just sat on the kitchen floor holding his youngest brother in his arms tightly and Ella sure
noticed their strong family bond at that moment.
Between brothers definitely that were right at Seth’s side.
Paul Gene asked, “Seth boy was she a girl of yours?”
    He shook his head and said, “Nah can’t be, I have not dated any girls yet”.
Looking at his other boys, Paul Gene said, “Boys get over to the bar, heck were running behind”.
“Sorry paw”.
“Nah never mind that your first Seth boy”.
The other three boys rushed out after Saul gently set his brother out from under his secure arms.
Paul Gene said, “Seth let's get you up here boy”,
