The two talked a lot, about the decline of the Sutton Family, about how Summer Sutton had been living these years away from home, and about Summer Sutton's childhood.
Adrian Walyon sat quietly listening by the side, indirectly learning a lot about Summer Sutton's past from their conversation.
The old man seemed particularly spirited when mentioning young Summer Sutton.
"Our young lady, if you know her, you'll know she's fierce, straightforward, and knows right from wrong. I remember there was a neighbor boy who liked the young lady very much. The second young lady must have liked that boy, because she went to the young lady, wanting to push her into the lake. But the young lady turned around and pushed her in instead."
