Hi, Barb,
I like ole Amos. Another piece of pie will gittcha another story. Characters like Amos and Clyde, with their dialect and down home livin', really add a lot to the authenticity of the location of the story.
Enjoyed this one a lot.
Cheers & Blessings

Amos has remained one of my favorite characters. I may have to write more about him.
Comment from BethShelby
Seems like the old man is willing to talk as long as the pie holds out. I guess he knows a lot about the house. Cash and Billy Joe aren't about to admit they had any dealing with a ghost. I'm wondering if there was any strange activity going on in the house when Paige's family lived there.

Nice touch ending this chapter like that. I was just settling in to hear the story of the treasure when it ended. The story is real to me, the reader, Amos smacking his lips conjures up the smell of peach pie, my favorite.

Barbara:
Readers need to understand the importance of writing
in the proper dialect of the day if one is going to
be true to the essence of the times - if they don't
get that, then they should read something else. I
continue to really enjoy your novel.

I agree, but I can't tell them that. LOL Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Curly Girly
Another well written chapter. Perhaps these two are concerned that there are others who know about this treasure chest. What evil tricks could desperate people conjure up to imitate ghosts?

The mark of a good writer is to make writing interesting to the reader when nothing exciting is happening. You did just that was this chapter, Barbara. Great storyline, great dialogue all around coffee and slices of pie. Great job.

Comment from JMUwrites
An excellent chapter write (part II) this is...light-hearted and drama/suspense free, the simple "day-to-day" interaction was penned perfectly in my opinion!
Thanks for sharing, the novel just continues to flow along wonderfully and leads the reader's interest on!

Hi, Barb. Excellent chapter here. I like the way you handled this stream of dialogue. It isn't easy to do dialect as you have no doubt found out. This is super imagery too:
""Sho' is." Amos grinned when a large slice of pie was set in front of him. "Dem Bookmans was good people. Dey pretended we were slaves, but paid us decent wages so dem uppity white people wouldn't cause no trouble." He took a bite of pie and smacked his lips. "Story has it dat under dat house used to be one of dem underground railroads. Dey'd help our people get out." He glanced toward Clyde. "Remember my pa telling about dat Walker devil trying to kill James Bookman 'cause five slaves ran away and he accused Bookman helpin' dem?"
Bravo! Bob
