"Everyone was smiling, all around the table, and Sammy smiled the happiest of all. What did it matter then if he was getting into fights, or Maybeth never learned to read, or James pretended to be less smart than he was? Nothing mattered nearly as much as sitting together around this table, in the warm yellow light, all of them together." From Dicey’s Song by Cynthia Voight, Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 1982, page 104.
