Loma returns home to the news that camp has committed suicide and moves in with Will's family. Even though the town churches taught that people who committed suicide went to Hell and forbade burials for suicides, Grandpa is determined that Camp with get a proper funeral and burial. He compels (sort of pressures) the town to pay respects, and every ends up feeling guilty and wishing they had treated Camp better. Grandpa always gets his way.
After Loma moves in with the Tweedy's (because young, respectable, single women could not work or live alone), Will describes how the relationship between Miss Love and Grandpa advanced and grew. She puts in plumbing and Grandpa gets her a gramophone for her birthday, and Will finds them dancing. At the store, Hosie Roach impresses Grandpa and gets Camp's job, and Aunt Loma starts training under Miss Love as an apprentice milliner.
