 There had been six of them who belonged to the farm, Sethe the only female. Mrs Garner, crying like a baby, had sold his brother to pay off the debts that surfaced the moment she was widowed. Then schoolteacher arrived to put things in order. But what he did broke three more Sweet Home men and punched the glittering iron out of Sehe's eyes, leaving two open wells that did not reflect firelight. __Beloved__ by Toni Morrison (11)
