Rumors of an affair between Tola and the art teacher make her the subject of lurid talk. Though she swears Mr. Mymer never touched her, she can't bring herself to explain exactly what happened. Tola's funny and sensitive narrative is interspersed with comments from secondary characters, providing additional perspectives on a community caught in a trumped-up scandal.
