Excerpt from Campus on the River
Tim Rice's light blue eyes had recently begun to look a little wild, and the occasional jerky movements of his head as he talked indicated that he was on the ragged edge. Janet, his wife, had a harried look, and her eyes had taken on a squint that seemed to say she couldn't under stand what had happened to her family. What had happened was that Tim's relationship with ten-year-old Tim, Jr., had been heading for a crisis, the culmination of a seven-year struggle between them.
Tim was out of breath when he reached the glass enclosed manager's office on the second floor of the store, and his head twitched several times to the left in sharp little jerks. He recognized the man sitting at the desk as Mr. Quigley, having seen him before on a few occasions in the store and in the neighborhood. Mr. Quigley's face was tinged with a pinkish purple that meant either a bad heart or extreme irritation. A young woman, wearing gold rimmed glasses, stood at one end of the desk, and young Tim stood at the other end. They were trying to stare each other down. Her lips were pursed and her body seemed rigid. The hard line of the boy's chin and the twist of his mouth said that she and her kind, whatever they might be, weren't worth his attention. Tim had seen that look often enough and had frequently been tempted to slap it off his son's face. But being slapped infuriated the boy, and he would scream wildly for the benefit of the neighbors and because then his mother invariably intervened on his behalf. He was a good-looking boy, which somehow made his contemptuous defiance all the more maddening.
