the time daddy had fallen off the haytruck and gone into a great big cowflop in back field ( but no mention of the times he had beaten them until they could n't sit down in payment for some real or imagined transgression ) ; the time they had snuck into the old met theater in lisbon falls to see elvis in love me tender ( but not the time momma had had her credit cut off at the red and white and had backed out of the grocery in tears , leaving a full basket of provisions behind and everybody watching ) ; how red timmins from up the road was always trying to kiss holly on their walk back from school ( but not how red had lost an arm when his tractor turned turtle on him in august of 1962 ) .
