- Summary:
- The first day (he'd been arrested right at bath time) Gregory witnessed the planting of an old, scrubby date palm, in front of his window. All its life, in the deep heat of Death Valley, the tree had brought forth juicy, sweet, and mild fruit, with oblong dry pits that yielded easily to the tongue.
