Carol didn't know who she was. She'd known once. Buddy was beautiful. That was before she knew he was a French, before she knew what a French was, what Wilby was. Who Buddy's mother was.
It had taken her awhile to realize that her mother-in-law's problem with her wasn't what she'd thought. She was a mainlander. Never mind that so was her mother-in-law's grandfather. He'd been part of French's expedition.
The family trees of the island were gnarled.
Buddy's mom was stymied. One son. Who hadn't married straight out of college. Then, she might have adjusted to a mainlander.
Broodmare.
