Reverend Buckminster licked his lips. "What were you doing on Malaga Island?"

What could he say? That he had practiced with Lizzie, dug for clams, and eaten them later in a chowder so good that he might have given up Eden for it? That he had spread his arms and flown with the Tripps? That he had sat quietly by the water's edge and dreamed dreams? That he had found a place that was more home than home?

— Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, Gary D. Schmidt
