Chapter One
The plum trees were blossoming and the fragrance turned my thoughts to Mother's home bottled plum syrup. We would enjoy the sticky good stuff throughout the fall and winter months.Wyatt was lying on his back staring at puffy clouds. "Whatdya think about it, Wesley?" he asked, chewing on a stem of spring grass.
"Yuck, that's what." My brows furrowed and my lips pinched together, for the matter which Wyatt spoke of was not as pleasant as Mother's plum syrup. Oh no, nothing that good! We just spied our fifth grade teacher kissing the principal. That shouldn't have bothered us so much, I guess, but Miss Annelaise Gallagher was our aunt, and we were now afraid that trips to the principal's office would require us to stir uncomfortably before a new and unrequested uncle. It was quite a kiss if you know what I mean. Surely marriage must follow such a heartfelt puckering!
"Miss Aunt Lace is nuts if she goes for the old guy."
"Get used to the idea." Wyatt couldn't say Aunt Annelaise when he was a little boy, so he just called her Aunt Lace and it stuck. He couldn't break the habit when school started this year, and I'd spent the last eight months stuck in a classroom with a kid who raised his hand too often, saying, "Miss Aunt Lace." Even I had sense enough to call her Miss Gallagher in school. It didn't matter though. Wyatt was Miss Gallagher's pet, her little darling, her lamb. For some reason, I, Wesley, just couldn't measure up.
"Why do you think Mr. Mulligan was running his hands through her hair like that?"
"Shut up, Wyatt."
"You're in a bad mood."
"Do I look like an expert in French kissing or something?"
"Sick! Is that what you think was happening? They were acting all sweaty and breathless."
"Shut up, Wyatt."
Wyatt was quiet for a few minutes. He might have been sulking, I'm not really sure. I looked over at him. He was using his hands as a homemade telescope. I wondered what he was seeing so I fashioned my hands in the same manner and studied the sky with telescopic vision. Its kids' stuff, but technically I am a kid.
Wyatt grinned when he saw I was copying him. His eyes were electric blue. His skin was pale and freckled, and his hair was as red as Lady Scarlet's nightgown. Actually I have no idea what color Lady Scarlet's nightgown is—I don't even know Lady Scarlet—but my great grandpa uses that expression all the time and Wyatt likes to hear it.
Great Grandpa Kelly Sheehan O'Rourke is older than anybody I know. He said he is so old he was nearly young again. Great Grandpa Kelley Sheehan O'Rourke says life is like a calendar. Springtime is childhood, and during summer you're grown up. Autumn brings grandchildren thicker than apples on the tree, and then winter hits, and Jack Frost paints your hair white.
"Most people die once they turn white and brittle, but I've drug all the way through December, January, and February. I think there's indecision about my future status. God doesn't want me and the devil is afraid I'll take over, so I'm stepping along, heading for my second springtime."
I smiled, thinking about Grandpa. He said he used to be a big man but winter had shriveled him down to size. He wasn't much taller than Wyatt and me, and we enjoyed his company better than anybody's. "That's how I know I'm a going around again," he said. "I'm shortening up and my mind must be youngering, for only children seem to appreciate my company. Yes sir, it's official. I'm in my second springtime, and I plan on racing you boys into summer."
I wondered if youngering was a word. I couldn't find it in the dictionary and Miss Annelaise Gallagher, my French kissing, school teaching, bossy aunt said it wasn't, but Grandpa Greaty Great said something didn't have to be in the dictionary to exist. "Look up my name in the dictionary—will ye find it? Oh no," Grandpa said. "But I'm here—I exist, just as real as Santy Claus."
"Some grandpas are good, and some grandpas are great, but I'm so good I'm Greaty Great," he chanted at least once a day. Wyatt and I learned the ditty when we were very young and that's how Great Grandpa Kelly Sheehan O'Rourke became simply Grandpa Greaty Great. The phrase was shortened down over time, and so mostly he's just called Grandpa Greaty. Of course that sounds like Grady, and half the town now calls him Grandpa Grady O'Rourke.
That's the way things get changed. Grandpa Grady says names, words, tales, and truth gets watered down over time and with each interpretation. "Cold hard facts become liquid, boys, and as watered down as Mrs. Margaret Mahoney's pitiful oyster stew." I've never had oyster stew, but I have vowed to never eat any of Margaret's.
My thoughts were just a jumbled bunch of circles that afternoon. "Let's go fishing, Wyatt. I need to do something." Wyatt was game and scrambled to his feet. We dogged along the side of the highway on our way home.
Wyatt's dad is fighting in Viet Nam. It's kind of terrible when someone you love has gone to war. Wyatt cries sometimes, although he doesn't want anybody to know. Aunt Aubynn and the kids moved in with Grandpa and Grandma Gallagher. They used to live in San Diego, but Aunt Aubynn got so lonesome that Grandma told her to come home, and back to Gallagher Springs they came. We live right next door.
My Dad has three sisters, Aunt Aubynn, Aunt Aura Leigh and Aunt Annelaise. Aunt Aubynn is great—soft and kind and gentle. Aunt Aura Leigh is indifferent, and Aunt Annelaise is basically my nemesis! She's the youngest and my mother claims she's spoiled rotten. I always agree with my mother on that subject. It's kind of interesting living next door to family, at least that's what Mother says.
We threw our books in our respective houses and grabbed our poles and tackle. Wyatt had a brand new pole he got for his birthday. I was a little bit jealous of it. It was turquoise and little metallic bits of paint glimmered in the sunshine. I had an old white pole of Dad's and tried to comfort myself by telling my friends it was good for ice fishing. "It's camouflaged to the snow so the fish don't get suspicious," I boasted one day.
The afternoon was hot for early May in northern Utah. The myriad of natural hot springs warmed the climate of our town quite substantially. Gallagher Springs was founded by my great, great grandpa, Errol Gallagher, although all of my other great, great grandparents came to America when he did. Grandpa Grady's parents were with them. According to the old men who liked to talk, the whole Irish village of Inis Pairc packed up and sailed across the sea when Grandpa Grady's father was fifteen.
We pedaled our bikes up Gallagher Canyon. We passed interesting signs as we went. The first one said, "Welcome to Gallagher Springs, population 300." It was a very old sign, mounted just after the settlement was built. A historical marker was near the sign to entertain bored tourists who had nothing better to do. Gallagher Springs' population was now closer to eight hundred, not counting the summer people.
The next sign said, "Gallagher Springs boasts the largest number of red heads, per capita, than any other city in the United States." We kept pedaling until we saw the sign, "The end of the rainbow is officially here!" The last sign read, "Gallagher Springs, where shamrocks and sagebrush bring Irish luck and American pride."
We pedaled about two miles. I was tired, and school had been long and hot. When we got to Inish Lake we baited our hooks and laid down in the shade, fishing in lazy fashion like Little Boy Blue watching sheep. The grass was cool and soothing, and I wouldn't have twitched one muscle, but I felt my pole bob and so I sat up and jerked on the rod. I whistled through my teeth while I reeled in a silvery rainbow trout.
"That's a good one Wesley," Wyatt encouraged. Just then his pole dunked down, and before I could finish pulling the hook from my catch's mouth, Wyatt was reeling in a beauty.
"Looks like trout's for supper."
I jerked my head back, so startled was I by the voice behind us. Grandpa Grady O'Rourke was nodding his head, happy to see our fortune as fishermen.
"How did you know we were here?"
"I've been waiting for you boys to get out of school. I figured you would come up here. It's too nice of a day to stay cooped up in doors. I knew spring fever would be burning your brows." Grandpa Grady helped us string our fish onto a cut willow. I baited my hook and caught another fish just as soon as my worm wiggled in the water. I whistled as I reeled in another handsome trout.
"The fish are definitely biting today," Wyatt observed.
Grady rubbed a hand along his chin. He nodded, squinting against the setting sun. "Don't catch more than your limit, or Doheny the Fish Nazi will throw you boys in jail." Wyatt and I grinned at the mention of the game warden. Grandpa Grady always went off on a tangent about the criminal behaviors of Jimmy Don Doheny. "A man tries to provide for his family, catch a few fish once in a while, and what does that Fish Nazi do? Create a stink, steal your joy, confiscate your catch, and haul you off to the big house." The exaggerations grew more and more interesting. "Why, I remember the day when a man could catch all of his fish on the same day if he was so inclined. I don't know what kind of an imbecile would actually do that, but this is America, and a man should have the right to be stupid if he chooses to be."
I reeled in another fish. I pulled my hook and strung it on the willow with the others, all the while listening to Grandpa's rants. "My folks came to this country because they heard that it was the end of the rainbow, and boys, it really is. Don't let old Grandpa get you riled up over nothing, but I say a good fisherman has the right to eat fish! Not four fish, or two fish, or whatever suits Jimmy Don Doheny, but just as cracking many fish as he chooses! There now, I feel a little better getting that off my chest."
I grinned at Grandpa Grady. He was baiting his hook, and his hands trembled slightly, but he was lively and spry. He always talked to us like we mattered and so his opinions sank deep. We soaked up everything he said, like young, hungry sponges. "Now what kind of grievances do you boys need to vent about today?"
Grady asked us that every day of our lives. He thought it was healthy for young people to protest about their sufferings. "Blow off steam a little at a time boys, that's healthy. Now, when you get to be pot smoking, free loving, long-haired, lazy, whining about America, war protesting couple of hippies, that's when you've gone too far! Those punks don't know squat about sacrifice or anything else for that matter. They are just squawking out loud now because nobody listened to them when they were young, and aint it grand that they live in a country where they can smoke, and dope, and whine away? We're free to march in Washington, boys, but by Jingo Jones, don't catch more than four fish a piece."
I lay back in the grass laughing silently at the wiry little man. Grandpa Grady talked with his hands. He'd been baiting his hook for the past ten minutes, but every time the worm in his right hand neared the hook in his left, his lecture would hit high point, and his hands sprang apart to illustrate the truthfulness of his statement. He'd been with us for twenty minutes and hadn't yet cast his line.
Wyatt cleared his throat. "Something's bugging me alright."
"What boy? Speak up!"
"We saw Miss Aunt Lace kissing Mr. Mulligan."
Grandpa's brows shot high. "What are you saying, Wyatt? Speak up, for bad news festers like a sliver, son, and must be drawn out to avoid the poison."
Wyatt's head bobbed in agreement with his tongue as it waggled to and fro, spilling the beans on Aunt Lace. Grandpa liked the story and seemed mighty enthralled with the telling of it.
"I don't know what they teach kids in school nowadays, but I remember when I learned how to cipher and spell. We had the three R's; reading, writing and arithmetic, which actually makes me question our skills in spelling, as technically writing begins with W and arithmetic begins with A. I don't ever recall learning French in school."
"I think you should tell your daughter about her daughter," Wyatt continued. "Grandma Gallagher wouldn't want Miss Aunt Lace smooching on the principal!"
"No—I'll not say a word to my Cora, for I'm no tattling tom! Wesley, did you also witness this grotesque display of affection?"
"Yes I did. She thought she was alone in the library after school, but we were in there getting our sling shots. We hid them in between Shakespeare's works during lunch recess. Nobody reads Shakespeare so we knew they were safe."
"Why hide the flippers?"
"They're strictly against the rules and we didn't want to get caught with them."
"That's the injustice that makes me get riled up! It's against the rules of the school for my great grandsons to carry flippers in their back pockets, but its okay for my granddaughter, their teacher, to kiss the principal! This injustice baffles reason."
"Well don't let it make your blood pressure go up."
"Annelaise Gallagher, kissing the principal!" Grady was laughing about the juicy scrap of information, and we joined in. "I'd given her up for a spinster and now she's kissing the dapper and dashing Mr. Melvin Mulligan. How romantic! There will be rejoicing in my Lacey Girl's heart tonight." His tongue clicked against the roof of his mouth three times.
I scowled, reeling in another catch. "This is nothing to celebrate about! It was sick!"
"I wager she'll be in a good mood tomorrow," Grandpa Grady observed, finally connecting worm and hook together. He took a wobbly step backwards and I heard the whir of his line as it sailed over the sparking water and landed with a little plop. "Don't fret about it boys."
"But it wasn't any kiss," we protested together.
"Oh?"
"It was like this," Wyatt said. He turned his back to us and wrapped his arms passionately around himself, acting out the sweaty and breathless moment. I couldn't help laughing and Grandpa Grady wiped tears from his cheeks at the charade.
"How did that go again?" Grady was baiting more than his hook this afternoon. Wyatt enacted the steamy kiss once again. "Don't mourn boys, for kisses like that bring marriage, and marriage invites the propagation of the human race."
"I have no idea what that means, Grandpa Grady, but I don't want Mr. Mulligan for my uncle."
"What makes you think Mr. Mulligan wants you two for nephews?"
I bit my lip and Wyatt sulked. "Then he should stop kissing Miss Aunt Lace!"
Grady didn't say another word about the issue, but he hummed the wedding march while we watched the sun bob over the western hills.
We pedaled home in the grey time that hovers between day and night. I was carrying the fish and the weight was dragging my handlebars off lopsided. Wyatt took them to give me a break but he managed the load even worse than I had, so before he even pedaled twenty-five yards, I inherited them back. Between Wyatt, Grandpa Grady and I, we'd caught twelve big fish, weighing a couple of pounds apiece.
"Remember Sunday School Wyatt? We learned that we are supposed to give to the poor?"
"So?"
"Let's leave some of these fish for the neighbors."
"Okay, who? The O'Reilley's?"
"No. They're not The Least of These My Brethren."
"Huh?"
"You know, The Least of These My Brethren."
"Oh." Wyatt nodded his head but I knew he didn't have a stinking clue in Heaven, or the other place, what I was talking about. He never listened very carefully in church.
"You know, Wyatt, like Gerald Flannery, for example."
"Is he one of those guys, The Least of These My Brethren?"
"Yes, remember? Grandpa Grady said he always felt sorry for Gerald because Mrs. Flannery doesn't know how to budget his money. Grandpa claims she throws more out the back door with a teaspoon than he can carry in the front door with a shovel."
"Okay," Wyatt grinned. He was game to be charitable if I was.
We pulled our bikes up to the Flannery's garage. I couldn't see piles of wasted goods thrown out the back door or anything, but still I felt nervous about going to the door and offering a fish, even if this outfit was The Least of These. "Remember how we're not supposed to let our left hand know what our right hand is doing?"

Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you.

(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.

(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
