Cheap Gothic Soap Opera, Part 81

Sturgy woke up the next day to the sound of willow-of-the-wisp and bluejays outside her window. As she opened her eyes and sat up, she noticed something funny about the room... across from her bed, where there was last night blank wall, there was now poster.

It had a large picture of Davidson, obviously taken by a professional, with his hair combed back. The photographer had evidently done his best to make the "boy" look intelligent and composed, but his left eye was pointing up while the right was up...but not very much. Also his tongue was hanging out--a bit and his pants were obviously soiled. There was a caption under the picture:
"Davidson--he's not inbred!"

She thought this strange. After going down stairs, Sturgy confronted Elizabeth.
"Mrs. Woodson," she began
"Oh! Sturgy Im so very very glad youre here we'll make best of friends I always needed friends could you take the Davidson for a walk and make some tea?" burbeled Mrs. Woodson in one or two breaths
Sturgy sank into her chair. I guess I'm not leaving, for now she thought. Oh well, she thought.
"Yes, I...I would be delighted," Sturgy said.
"Did you walk the Davidson? Good he needs a walk sometimes now go into town! And get some oranges and apples and plumbs for plumb pie and oranges" qualled Mrs. Woodson.

Sturgy drove to town down a steep, dangerous, treacherous road full of terrible turns on which a man might crash his car if some component of the car were stolen by malicious intent. But she was a woman, and the car was fine. In town, there were more posters, some read:

"Davidson is my not-inbred friend!"
"Do you know what's great about Davidson? His parents are not related!"
"Davidson is good and normal"
"Twenty-four years ago when Davidson was conceived, Richard was in China and Bithle was in Timbuktoo"

There was one with a picture of Richard Woodson standing next to a working-class child
"The Woodsonport Fishery--we are your only family"

The next had a picture of some huge vat of pulverized fish:
"Te Woodsonport Cannery--where did Billy go? Billy was bad."
