The Lottery - Shirley Jackson

This quote was added by malevolarky
Soon the men began to gather - surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk... Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times.
