Chapter 40: In Which Will Plays Chauffeur and Gets an Eyeful

The cars are a big hit, with everyone stopping and admiring/messing with cars out front, and attracting many more customers. Grandpa loves to advertise them and talks about them all the time. Miss Love also plays a part in attracting customers by becoming a window mannequin. Unfortunately, they have to put the cars in back because people are messing with them too much.

They finally sell a car and Will takes Miss Love and Grandpa to the county fair where Grandpa won the big prize for shooting and Will notes in his journal that Grandpa sat in the back with Miss Love on their trip home. They then plan a picnic, and Will drives them. When they try to avoid a crashed car, they drive off the road, putting a hole in their radiator, but do not realize it until they are alone and stranded. Miss Love has an idea to plug the hole with grits, and they send Will to buy some grits from a local. When he comes back, he is shocked to see Grandpa kissing Miss Love and feels for the first time as though Granny has been betrayed.
