my favorite part : [Next door to Jeremiah’s haberdashery, the cobbler shop faltered. Jeremiah’s father came to him, hat in hand, asking for a loan. “The bank is foreclosing,” the father confided. “They’re giving us the boot.”] I love the clever use of 'hat in hand' and 'giving us the boot' in this context :^)
