In comparison to Leslie, Brenda and Ellie looked like a pair of peacocks with fake tail feathers.
They both insisted on riding in the front of the pickup with their parents, which was some kind of a squeeze with Brenda's shape to consider.
Jess and Leslie and the little girls climbed happily into the back and sat down on the old sacks his dad had put against the cab.
The sun wasn't exactly shining, but it was the first day in so long that the rain wasn't actually coming down
that they sang “O Lord, What a Morning,” “Ah, Lovely Meadows,” and “Sing! Sing a Song” that Miss Edmunds had taught them,
and even “Jingle Bells” for Joyce Ann. The wind carried their voices away from them. It made the music seem mysterious,
which filled Jess with a feeling of power over the hills rolling out from behind the truck.
The ride was much too short, especially for Joyce Ann,
who began to cry because the arrival interrupted the first verse of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,”
which after “Jingle Bells” was her favorite song. Jess tickled her to get her giggling again,
so that when the four of them clambered down over the tailgate, they were flushed-faced and happy once more.
They were a little late, which didn't bother Ellie and Brenda
