Will notes that Miss Love seems to be able to control Grandpa easily. Will goes to school and sees that Lightfoot isn't there. He asks Hosie, who says that she is working in the mill. The conversation turns sour after a while, and they get into a fight. They are then sent to Mr. Whisnant's to chop wood. They do so, but they chop it four inches too long for his stove.
Grandpa, Miss Love, and Will find out that Grandpa's Pierce is arriving on Saturday. They advertise the event, make final arrangements, and Miss Love makes a suit for Grandpa. It'll be a surprise for everyone, including Will's dad, which Will realizes means that he can't be told to not drive the Pierce!
The surprise is a huge hit, being compared to a visit from the Georgian governor. Grandpa announces that the store will be selling cars, and Will drives Grandpa to the store in the Pierce. Love, however, stays home. It becomes clear that neither Grandpa nor Miss Love can drive a car after Grandpa loses the location of the brake and drives into a ditch and Miss Love gets a bee down her dress and crashes into a curb, so they decide that Will will have to drive them whenever they wish to go motoring.
