Judge Cools story of his trouble.
His relations with his wife and children. Irene, his wife, a remarkable woman,
they might have shared anything, and yet nothing in their combined, they could not touch. She died in his arms. He didnt know whether she was happy. His sons. He didnt enjoy their esteem: he has wanted it, more as a man than as a father. Unfortunately, they felt they know something shameful about him.
The story of his correspondence with a little girl in Alaska. Once the judge Kuhl rode the train and saw a magazine that was somehow forgotten by the child. He started leafing through it and saw ' children who wanted to have a pen PAL. He noticed the address of a girl named Tricky falls, which was from Alaska. He sent her a card. The girl answered immediately. It was a very intelligent account of life in Alaska-charming descriptions of her father's sheep ranch, of northern lights. She sent him a photograph and Cool hunted through some old albums, and found a Kodak made on a fishing trip when he was fifteen. He wrote her as though he were still that boy, told her of the gun he had got for
Christmas, how the dog had had pups and what they had named them, described a tent-show that had come to town. Later on she wrote she'd fallen in love with a fellow she knew, and Cool felt a real pang of jealousy. They corresponded for 2 years, and then he was getting ready for law school, she sent me a gold nugget-it would bring him luck.

2. Rileys story of his trouble. .
He wasnt in trouble. He hadnt get feelings-except for his sisters, which was different. Take for instance, He had been going with a girl from Rock City nearly a year, the longest time he has stayed with one girl. She said if he didn't love her she had as soon die.
He stopped the car on the railroad track. They set here, the Crescent's due in about twenty minutes. They didn't take their eyes off each other and he didn't feel anything except vanity".
3. Dollys story of her trouble. .
Dolley has told that she never loved men, except the father. But she loved pink color because she had one pink pencil in her childhood. She liked to pack different things and to hide them in a chest which is on an attic at home of Verina.
4. Catherines opinion about why they happened to find themselves in the China tree. , , , .
They were there for very plain reasons. One was, that our tree-house, and two, That One and the Jew's trying to steal what belongs to their. Three: you there, every one of them, because they wanted to be: the deepdown part of you tells you so.

Riley woke Collin, they climbed down from the tree and went into the woods. They set through the briar patch, deep in the thick of the forest, approaching the river. They come to the old abandoned floating home. Then they decided to swim in the river and swam to the island. The water was clear and divided into knee-deep basins-Riley hovered above one: in the thin pool a coal-black catfish lay doz-ingly trapped. They caught it with his bare hands. They drove a spike of bamboo through its gills and swam back to the houseboat holding it aloft.
6. The incident at the China tree. The behaviour of Catherine, Collin, Riley, Dolly and Judge Cool during the fight. . , , , , .
All this time at the tree-house there was a terrible situation. During our absence Sheriff Candle had returned backed by deputies and a warrant of arrest. Ray Oliver, Jack Mill, and Big Eddie Stover, three grown men, cronies of the Sheriff, were dragging and slapping Catherine through the grass. I wanted to kill them; and Catherine was trying to: but she didn't stand a chance-though she butted them with her head, bounced them with her elbows. Catherine asked Collin to kick Big Eddy. Jack Mill snatched at me, but I bolted across the field and crouched
down in the tallest grass. These men have taken away Catherine. Collin has gone to a tree, he is rumpled Dolley and the judge on the top of a tree. When they have got down, Dolley has told that Catherine has gone to look for him because she worried, but the sheriff and his people have seized her.
7. Maude Riordan and Elizabeth Henderson: background information; Maude and Elizabeths plans for the Halloween party; Collins attitude towards Maude Riordan. : ; ; .
Maude Riordan and Riley's older sister, the smart one, Elizabeth. They were very dear friends and wore white matching sweaters, Elizabeth was carrying a violin case. Both Maude and Elizabeth had been in my class at school; they'd jumped a grade and graduated the previous June. I knew Maude especially well because for a summer I'd taken piano lessons from her mother; her father taught violin, and Elizabeth Henderson was one of his pupils. Maude herself played the violin beautifully. Once Collin took piano lessons from mother Maud. He was in love with Maud and gave her small bouquets. However her mother has told that he has no ability to music and has told that he didn't attend class any more. At that moment of the relation between Collin and Maud have stopped. As for Halloween, Maud has told that she and Elisabeth organize a party and have called Collin. They have decided to dress up him in a suit of a skeleton and that he told guests their destiny because in their opinion, he was a visionary.
8. The arrival of Riley: his story about how Catherine was put in jail; his story about what happened to Verena. : , ; , .
When Riley has returned, he has begun to tell about how the crowd met Catherine about prison. Catherine went with is proud of the raised head. When she has come inside, she has given a kick some observing from crowd. As for cameras, they were for white and for Blacks. Catherine shouted that she wasn't put to Blacks.

Riley had a few details: he knew that Verena, upon discovering the safe door swung open (this happened in the office she kept above her drygoods store) had whirled around the comer to the Lola Hotel, there to find that Morris Ritz had checked out the previous evening: she fainted: when they-revived her she fainted all over again.
