MEG HAD FOUND THE SIMULTANEITY OF THE HOTNESS AND THE WETNESS TO BE UNUSUAL TO THE POINT OF DEMANDING WORSHIP... (NAUGHTY BETTY, MEG’S HALF-SISTER, HAD TOLD MEG ABOUT THE BURNING BUSH WHICH SPOKE TO MOSES)... (MOSES BEING A FAT AND MEAN BAPTIST MAN WHO DRANK A LOT AND LIVED DOWN THE ROAD A WAYS, AND DROVE A PLYMOUTH)...

AND WHEN MEG FOUND IT, EVEN THOUGH IN THE BACK OF HER MIND SHE KNEW IT MIGHT JUST BE A CANDY CIGARETTE... (THE TIP OF WHICH NAUGHTY BETTY MAY HAVE LOADED WITH A SMOKE PELLET FROM JIMMY’S 1938 ELECTRIC TRAIN SET), HER FEELING OF A NEED FOR REVERENCE LINGERED...

AND HER LITTLE EYES GOT REAL BIG AND REAL WET...
