Lucas

1 Pa said, “You know Mr. Lucas’s truck when you see it.”

2 “You think too much,” Lucas said to me on the banks of the White River the next day. “/think too much?”

3 Lucas senses that his girl is running out on him.

4 Oslo steps to one side and walks into the living room, where he takes a seat beside Lucas and Mena on the couch.

5 “Drink, Lucas,” she coaxed him, and when he clamped his teeth shut she pried them open and made him drink.

6 Here’s what they told Lucas: I don’t think you could do this job from a wheelchair.

7 Uncle D dropped our bags on the porch and said, “I’m going to town for spark plugs. I’m taking Mr. Lucas with me.”

8 “I had once some thoughts of fixing in town myself—for I am fond of superior society; but I did not feel quite certain that the air of London would agree with Lady Lucas.”

9 He was not saved by these efforts, though, but by a curious stipulation in the terms laid down by Henry Lucas for his eponymous chair.

10 But it was the same for Gabriel, and Lucas, too.

11 It was like she was trying to peer across the miles, right into the city, to find Lucas.

12 Lucas was one of the smartest and strangest people I knew, and so I wasn’t very surprised by his choice of topic.

13 Instead of pronouncing all of Big Ma’s names, the pastor presented them as “Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Lucas.”

14 Instead I walked past the telephone, past the kitchen, down the hall, and into my bedroom, where Lucas Cader was asleep on the floor.

15 In those two weeks, Lucas and I had nearly searched all of the surrounding area ourselves, had kayaked down the river twice, getting out to search random sandbanks and things like that.

16 My mother packs my things as I wait in the wheelchair with Lucas the bear in my lap.

17 Though Lucas Mangope, the president of Bophuthatswana, had chosen to keep his homeland out of the election, the tide of events soon altered the situation.

18 And I thought about this very thing one night as Lucas and I played basketball in the dark outside my garage.

19 “He’s paralyzed,” Lucas said, his eyes still closed, “from the waist down.”

20 It wasn't easy, and I think we hurt Lucas twice trying to get him down the bus steps, and again when we crowded him into the elevator.
