In a calm church scene Milly and I ride to town on a warm day to hear Reverend Stroud host a visiting minister from Saskatoon. The longer the sermon, the more I can snooze while Milly knits and resists giggling at Stanley Steamer jokes.
A church service ends with an unruly display as a singer challenges John McCormack impressions while Milly covers her face with a handkerchief. The narrator describes nervous anticipation, a bold hymn solo, and a patient crowd applauding as they leave the pews.
A brief, vivid line captures Milly holding her hymn book over her face while in the buggy, conveying a quiet moment and aversion to violence as the narrator cannot describe the ride home.
