And the Rest of Alfie's Story

After the Easterday Adventure with The Moonshiners, Alfie was a big boy growing toward manhood.

He had eaten the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and he had become responsible for his own actions.

But with Ace as his Demon, and Junior as his ever-present Gadfly, Alfie found himself in frequent trouble.

Mama was his Guiding Angel, though, and Papa was the Instrument of Punishment.

Uncle Seeb was the Shining Ebony Light to illuminate his path.And LOVE for he discovered girls, and he yearned to be a Hero.

His world was changing too, because Jody was now the Baby, and Willie and Cliff and Junior all went away to the War in Europe.

He became the Man of the House when Papa was killed and he held in his hand Papas Watch, the Arbiter of Time and the Measuring Rod of Life.
