"By Thanksgiving Day, the foliage of Broadway [in Golden, Georgia] had fully surrendered to autumn. The ground was awash in the copper tint of oak leaves, the buttery ochres of elm and maple, and the varied reds of sweet gum and dogwood.
"At one section of the Promenade, fallen leaves had drifted ankle deep at the curbside, like rust - colored confetti, in a way that children, and Theo, found irresistible. He stepped off the sidewalk and dragged his feet through the gathered softness as if wading through a stream of slivered almonds. He chuckled at his own playfulness.
"Entering the Boughery Neighborhood, he took note of three tall ginkgoes, as bright as Shekinah glory, blazing golden with evening light.
"The sun was fast disappearing below the tree line, taking with it the mild temperatures that had accompanied daylight. Theo was wrapped warmly . . . carrying a bottle of wine . . . as he made his way . . .
"On lawns and in windows throughout the Boughery, Chdristmas lights were already on display, a hint of what was to come in days and weeks ahead. It was a gladdening sight Theo made the final steps to Glissen House." (294 - 95, emphasis added)
