Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z That night, in the quiet? of his dark room, while a deep and clear cold frosted the starlight over the town, those words came back to Turner: “I will see to it myself.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Whenever his mother was in Mrs. Cobb’s house, Turner would wait by his father’s bedside.

Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z “Arms I sing,” said Turner...after more than a few moments.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner went to bed and lay awake most of the night. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner lay in his room, shivering even though he was still dressed, listening to the familiar sounds of his parents moving around in the room below him, coming up the stairs, closing the door. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z By the time Turner went to bed that night—having had his supper after his blueberry pie—the silver moon had set, and the racing stars had puffed out their fiery white chests.

October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z And Turner—Turner ran out of Mrs. Cobb’s house and down Parker Head. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner saw with dismay that Tea Cake’s taking them out was worse than letting them stay in. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z Deacon Hurd backed away when Turner held out his hand to shake. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z So when he stepped into his father’s study the next morning to begin the first formal day of tutelage, Turner was about as grim as a dark cloud lowering itself over a Sunday-school picnic. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner held on to the sides of the dory and rolled side to side with it with this great vastness that had swum past the mountains and valleys of the sea. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner wished he had a baseball bat in his hand. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z And suddenly, Turner thought he could smell sweet grass. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z And suddenly, Turner had a second thought that had never occurred to him before: he wondered if he believed a single thing his father was saying. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner wondered if his mother might swing out her right arm and go for Deacon Hurd’s nose, then his eye. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z He was like someone out of a ghost story, and Turner tried to draw away. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z The sun had almost decided to set by the time Turner reached the dock.

Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z Turner’s arms felt strong against the long, smooth swells, so low they were not breaking, the sea the color of the inside of a mussel shell. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z She held her arms around herself, and when Turner looked back at her, her eyes were large as she looked into the rooms off the hallway. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “An old family disease?” said Turner’s father after the evening service. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “I won’t lose this one,” answered Turner, and he swung his bat, and put his leg out, and waited for the pitch from Willis, still and quiet. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner must have passed through that morning.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z The Escort came forwards to conduct him to Mr. Turner.

Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z His counterpart was William Turner, who owned a tavern and two general stores. Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z Then they’d process down the hall and into the parlor, and Mrs, Cobb would sit in her chair, Turner at the stool, and Lizzie on the floor against the horsehair chair, and Turner would begin. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner figured Deacon Hurd was getting more and more profane as the night wore on. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z So the two weeks of Turner’s sentence ended and he was free—or at least as free as any minister’s boy could be. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner had cleared away the round study table in the library and left only his father’s Bible, the Aeneid, and The Origin of Species on it, along with the lamp. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “You are both Black, and your mama taught you to hold your heads up and be proud. You’re Turners, and that comes with a legacy.” Root Magic 2021-01-05T00:00:00Z She picked up the driftwood branch that Turner had let fall. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mr. Turner looked sharply in the football boy’s direction, and Coach Gainer stood up and looked at him too.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z One of the Tripps who had held his hand came to stand on Turner’s toes. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “Well, Turner Ernest Buckminster, right now I’m trying to figure out how to ask you why a wild turkey could have played that organ better than you today.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z No one else struck out the rest of the game—except Turner. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z So Mrs. Turner frowned most of the time. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z Mr. Stonecrop blustered out of the house, and Turner and his father watched him take the street by right of possession.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner followed them into the library, Mr. Stonecrop seeming too large for the house. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “The other respectable gentleman who signed the committal papers,” said Turner’s mother, “is best named by your father.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z He gestured toward Turner, then drew the eyes of his audience back. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z I wandered from Mr. Turner’s office and into the hall, feeling weak, frustrated, and pitiful. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Willis helped Turner move the heaviest things, and it took them most of a week.

Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z At Turner’s, he stood in front of a shelf of crackers, baffled by the variety. Out of Darkness 2015-09-01T00:00:00Z He must have been short—less than five foot six—and Turner could see nothing of him apart from a portion of the back of his head. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z He seemed to think that it was Turner who had spoken, for the little speech that followed was addressed to him. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z “Turner,” said Deacon Hurd, “we’re more grieved than we can say about your father. But this is a closed meeting of the church.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner figured that if there ever was a time for a hymn, this was it. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z It looked to Turner as if he was about to deliver a speech. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner leaned his weight against a fence post.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mr. Turner had given us the afternoon off from school. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Said Mr. Turner, “I have, at long last, recognized you.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z When Turner and his mother did appear at church, silence followed in a spreading wake as they walked up the center aisle. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z But Turner stood by the graveside, along with his mother and father. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “He’s been looking forward to lighting out for the Territories,” thought Turner. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z In the cold, dead, dark air of Mrs. Cobb’s house, Turner began to sweat. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z When John Turner Harris and his friends left the beach that Sunday afternoon in 1919, they were focused on the tragic death of Eugene Williams.

October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Turner kept his head down and followed the man in front, protectively folded in his thoughts. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z She said we must never run from either one, because Turners don’t run from nobody. Root Magic 2021-01-05T00:00:00Z Turner looked back and forth between Mrs. Cobb and Lizzie, both of whom seemed about as surprised at each other as a new hope drying a last tear. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z But coming on it now, from the water, with Lizzie stroking and angling her way to the point, Turner felt as if he was on the brink of a discovery. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Only when they were finally all gone, and the fog with them, did Turner feel the old familiar sea breeze coming in at the doors and pulling him outside. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Out on Malaga Island, the orange light flared higher, and a line of lanterns headed toward shore, disappearing from Turner’s sight as they neared the granite ledges. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z He glared especially long at Turner, who saw the word homicide spring into his mind. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z They stood together on the back porch, as they had done so many times, but now, for the very first time, there was a gentle touch in Lizzie’s hand that Turner had never noticed before. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z When Mr. Turner handed me my diploma, he stopped me for a personal word. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z But her childhood friend and university acquaintance, Robbie Turner, was on his knees, weeding along a rugosa hedge, and she did not feel like getting into conversation with him.

On the Far Side of the Mountain 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z He draped his arm around Turner’s shoulders and drew him in, into his strength and power and presence. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner was in no mood to allow that this was so. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z At that Turner crossed his legs the other way and kept right on smoking his pipe. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z They set out together, Nat Turner and his six followers, and at every plantation where they stopped, other slaves joined them, until there were seventy of them altogether.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Still bent, Turner shuffled back to the kitchen, checking once more to see if Mrs. Cobb was asleep—or dead. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner, the Clark geographer, was skeptical about the evidence for the killer drought. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner back and forth in the dining room heard Sop when he said this and beamed. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z “You see, Turner III, you’re as wicked as I am. You hardly have to practice at all.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z SCORPIUS: Albus, for obvious reasons, I’m not a massive fan of Time- Turners. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child 2016-07-31T00:00:00Z And then Turner heard a knock at the back door. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z From this angle, Turner could not tell whether Willis’s nose was straight. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z I spot Mr. Turner from down the block, standing outside Hernando’s with his cup of coffee. Pride 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Glaring, Reverend Buckminster went to answer it, and Turner wondered if he was free to go upstairs. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner was sitting in a front pew as hard as Jacob’s pillow, and he shifted now and again to let another part of him take his weight. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner held himself to a slow walk, his hands politely out of his pockets. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “There’s a couple more boys involved,” Mr. Turner said. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z This was not the answer Turner had been hoping for. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “Don’t you dare tell on me, James Turner.” Root Magic 2021-01-05T00:00:00Z When Turner looked over his shoulder to the east, more than a few stars had already yawned themselves awake and were stretching to begin their run. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z By the time Turner had spun around and looked up, his father—his father!—and the sheriff were gripping each other’s arms and pushing back and forth, sliding and stumbling and tripping over rocks. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Hank Turner got shot in the leg and was stranded out in no-man’s-land. Moon Over Manifest 2010-10-12T00:00:00Z “Climb in” said Turner, but he had to lift her front leg for her, and once she was in, she fell into a loose heap in the bow, and her eyes closed. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner could almost feel the globe sliding under his feet. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z The only human sound Turner heard, piercing the din of engines, was the crying of babies. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z We had heard two hard things, Mr. Turner said. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Out in the bay, I almost touched a whale, thought Turner. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mr. Turner strutted out of his office at that moment. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z “It’s an insane asylum, Turner. It’s a place where people live in long wards, tied to white iron beds. It’s a place where there are strong nurses to tell them exactly what to do.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z ROSE: Apparently he—the wizard they raided—Theodore Nott, I think—had all sorts of artifacts that broke all sorts of laws including—and this has got them all gooey—an illegal Time- Turner. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child 2016-07-31T00:00:00Z They passed the Logan County Gazette office, where the newspaper editor, Ms. Turner, hunched over her keyboard, index fingers in pecking position. The Last Last-Day-of-Summer 2019-04-02T00:00:00Z In the midst of the preparations, Mr. Turner approached me. The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves 2009-10-13T00:00:00Z It rang just as this detective Turner happened to walk in through the front door. The Autobiography of Malcolm X 1965-01-01T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner entered the office, holding a map of the county. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Philip Turner cut in before the dance was over. The Great Santini 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z The egg pudding fell to the tablecloth, and Turner’s father did not notice. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z She didn’t answer, but she said, “I consider you a friend, Jezebel Turner. I won’t forget what you did for me.” Root Magic 2021-01-05T00:00:00Z Turner wasn’t sure he should leave Mrs. Cobb asleep and alone, but he was sure he needed some air that hadn’t been wrung out inside the house. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner saw what was happening at the same time as the corporals, when they were still a good way back. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner’s brother was back on the muck and now he had this mysterious sickness. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z “Lizzie was in that house,’’Turner repeated.“Did you blow a shotgun off above her, too?” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “You play the organ? You do? Turner Buckminster, you play the organ?” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner heard the first group coming back from the game. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner lowered the branch and looked at her skeptically. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z She never failed to remind Turner that he was to listen for her last words, and that the paper and pen were atop the organ. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner wished with a desire greater than anything he had ever desired that he might understand what it was in the eye of the whale that shivered his soul. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z A group of Turners went to the Howards’ general store and spoke roughly to Mrs. Howard. Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z Wilse Howard rode to George Turner’s house and fired at him but missed and killed another man. Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z Turner’s stomach grew tighter and tighter with the slow sprawl of her words. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z When she found out he wasn’t, she asked if Turner might come to her house to play the organ for her. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “The queen of the gods, Turner. Write it as though she is telling the story. This is Juno here, regina deum, line nine. Thirty minutes seems about the right amount of time.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Any hope Turner had that they might slip in quietly was gone when he saw the score or more of lanterns down by the docks, and the crowd of people watching. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner went back to the lady for a length of rope, but no one came to the door and he wasn’t certain that he had the right house. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z Turner wondered if his hair would have to be white before he didn’t have to put up with dreary Sundays. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z The account, with Turner’s running translation, had taken almost an hour. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z Coach Thomas Turner was the science teacher and tennis coach at Wallace High School. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z After supper he and Lizza walked down Turner’s Lane and out on the wharf. Carry On, Mr. Bowditch 1955-01-01T00:00:00Z Wilse Howard heard the Turners were after him, and he and a friend rode into Harlan and attacked the Turner home. Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z While Speed worked with other Turner Station residents to gather memories of Henrietta, Wyche wrote letter after letter, trying to get recognition for Henrietta and attract donors to pay for the museum. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks 2010-02-02T00:00:00Z The rocks were cold and smooth and slippery under his feet arid the water lapped up to his knees, but Turner hardly noticed. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z It said that Turner was hit in the back after our position had been exposed to the enemy. Fallen Angels 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z She rushed him into the house and burst out with a cry the likes of which Turner had never heard before. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z So the next afternoon when it was hot and close, Turner climbed the steps to Mrs. Cobb’s house with the sea breeze at his heels, urging him to play. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z She followed the worn tread in the throw rugs, and Turner went after her into a house as hot as it could possibly be without the whole place flaring up. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z He looked at Turner, and Turner saw in his eyes—distrust. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner and Lizzie listened to the same exchange more times than they cared to. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z The lines turned out to be a hundred dull ones, as Aeneas—Turner thought he finally had the spelling down—moped about and looked for a place to live. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z By the time we got to the camp, Turner was dead. Fallen Angels 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z Malaga, Turner thought, would already be in deep shadow, lying low in the water as it did. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z He looked pale, as if he’d seen something that frightened him, and none of us could imagine anything that could scare Mr. Turner. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Lizzie rowed Turner back across the New Meadows after her granddaddy finished the chowder. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “Let us pray,” he said slowly; but Turner thought that the prayer he prayed wasn’t rising much above First Congregational’s steeple. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z But Turner saw that the pines sidled awful close to the left-field line, and he could spin a ball to make it touch in fair, then scoot off into the trees. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Blue days, as the tide washed away the twin footprints Lizzie and Turner left along the beach. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner offered this opinion after the warning that was issued in two thirds of classes at the Academy: “What’s said here doesn’t leave this room.” Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z The last thing Turner saw was his father’s moonlit eyes. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z So Turner sat at a small desk by the window—a window closed tightly and imperiously against sea breezes exiled by fate—and began the first hundred lines of the Aeneid. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z The snow wasn’t so. thick that Turner couldn’t see across to Malaga, but it was thick enough that probably no one would be out on the water. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “You were naked in Mrs. Cobb’s kitchen,” Turner’s father said, slowly and quietly. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner and Lizzie spent most of the afternoon skipping rocks into the waves—he was better than Lizzie—and climbing up to sway in pines—she could go higher. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner thought it was rather hard to be used as an example. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z By the time they were finished, the walls of snow rose above Turner’s shoulders, and he had to pitch the snow so high that his arms were starting to ache. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “This way,” said the sheriff, and he grabbed Turner by the coat as Turner’s father had grabbed him, half lifted him, and threw him back behind him, not even watching to see where he fell. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner took the brush and dipped it in the paint can. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z As I pushed open the door, Miss Turner leaned over and said to me, “Sam, we have some very good books on plants and trees and animals, in case you get stuck.” My Side of the Mountain 1959-01-01T00:00:00Z Later he would wonder: if Naomi wasn’t shopping at Turner’s, then where was she getting the groceries? Out of Darkness 2015-09-01T00:00:00Z Turner was not surprised the next morning when Malaga Island was declared a forbidden place, once again. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z One night, when the sea breeze remembered that autumn wasn’t far away and so began to blow colder, Turner told Willis he wanted to take the tender out into the bay. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “No, we need to reschedule,” Coach Turner said. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z In Turner Station, sometimes Elsie bolted from the house and ran through the street screaming. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks 2010-02-02T00:00:00Z Reverend Buckminster looked down at Turner again, and Turner wondered if he was expected to speak. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z I looked at four maps before finding one where Turner Station wasn’t covered by ads or blow-up grids of other neighborhoods. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks 2010-02-02T00:00:00Z Turner removed his pipe and answered: “Yeah, and you see how Ah did swell up too, didn’t yuh? You tell Tea Cake he better be keerful Ah don’t swell up again.” Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z I finished my work for Mr. Turner with all the speed I could, aiding in the extinguishing of candles and the stowing of chairs. The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves 2009-10-13T00:00:00Z And suddenly, Turner had a thought that had never occurred to him before: he wondered if his father really believed a single thing he was saying. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Philip Turner vomited into a janitor’s sink surrounded by mops and pails. The Great Santini 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z The Reverend Buckminster looked at Turner, and Turner suddenly had the impression that his father was seeing him for the first time as someone more than his son. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner walked around to the side porch—the shutters had all been painted there, too—and he found a single window whose curtains had not been pulled. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner figured she had reached her peak of height sometime around the Civil War and from that time on had been folding and shrinking until someday she would probably just disappear. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “You learn quickly, Turner III. Go on now.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Even Lillian Woodward failed to show for her prelude, and Turner found himself taking her place at the organ bench and looking over a mighty small congregation. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mr. Turner listened to my Account with all due Gravity & having heard the Story, confirmed that Prince sounded the very Boy he sought. The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party 2006-09-12T00:00:00Z Ethel, the wife of their cousin Galen, had recently come to Turner Station from Clover, and she hated Henrietta—her cousins always said it was jealousy. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks 2010-02-02T00:00:00Z Turner looked around and found a dish towel. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z But Turner did not mind all that much. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z When she saw Turner, she waved at him with a merry hand. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner went in, slowly, warily, feeling about as eager to go in as black molasses to flow on a wintry day. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Turner looked at his father, who was coming to just about the same conclusion. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z “You will show me respect and call me Deputy Collins, Janey Turner.” Root Magic 2021-01-05T00:00:00Z What Cohen and Nisbett were seeing in that long hall was the culture of honor in action: the southerners were reacting like Wix Howard did when Little Bob Turner accused him of cheating at poker. Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner got up off the floor hollering for the police. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z So in the morning, Turner set his face to the sea breeze and followed it down Parker Head Road, across the peninsula, and toward the water. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z By noon, Turner could hit most every pitch she threw to him—and not just a glancing hit, either. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Mrs. Turner hit at him the best she could with her hurt hand and then spoke her mind for half an hour. Their Eyes Were Watching God 1937-09-18T00:00:00Z “I talk,” said Turner, “but not usually to people who hide out and scare someone so that a rock comes down on his face.” Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z It was a huge dog, as fierce looking as a wolf, but soon devoted to Jethro after young Sam Turner had taught the boy how to become the dog’s master. Across Five Aprils 1964-01-01T00:00:00Z After the first two weeks, Turner was pegging lobster claws as fast as Willis and not getting pinched any more than anyone else. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z But if Turner happened to climb down the granite ledges to the muddy shore, and if Lizzie Bright happened to have come over in her dory to dig clams...well, Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy 2004-05-24T00:00:00Z Through Turner, Mace said that he had never tasted, never even heard of, goose liver pate, and from now on, he would eat nothing else. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z Turner’s impatience to reach it had become inseparable from his thirst.
