James McBride Quotes

Owens, Our Minister, Would Get Up From His Seat And Stop The Song. He'd Sit Behind His Pulpit In A Spiritual Trance, His Eyes Closed, Clad In A Long Blue Robe With A White Scarf And Billowed Sleeves, As If He Were Prepared To Float Away To Heaven Himself, Until One Of Mommy's Clunker Notes Roused Him. One Eye Would Pop Open With A Jolt, As If Someone Had Just Poured Cold Water Down His Back. He'd Coolly Run The Eye In A Circle, Gazing Around At The Congregation Of Forty-odd Parishioners To See Where The Whirring Noise Was Coming From. When His Eye Landed On Mommy, He'd Nod As If To Say, "Oh, It's Just Sister Jordan"; Then He'd Slip Back Into His Spiritual Trance.
