Who plays grandma in broken roads8/2/2023 The startled and snarling Pitty Sing hurls himself onto Bailey's shoulder. The thought is so horrible, in fact, that she starts and kicks her feet, which knock the valise off the basket where Pitty Sing has been hiding.But just then, a horrible thought hits her.The grandmother tells Bailey it's just a little further.Something feels a little off about this adventure. Time passes and there is still no sign of the house yet.They go onto the dirt road, which is hilly, with "sharp curves" and "dangerous embankments" (60), and looks as if no one has driven on it in quite a while.Meanwhile, she also tells the children more exciting details about the house. The grandmother directs him to a dirt road that they had passed a while ago, which they can take to get to the house.John Wesley kicks the front seat, June Star whines, and even the baby gets in on the action by screaming. Bailey doesn't want to take them, but the children throw a collective tantrum.The children think this sounds cool and want to visit. As they ride along, the grandmother tells the children of an old plantation house around these parts that she'd once visited a long while back. He and the grandmother talk about the good old days. Nothing is as good today as it used to be. Red Sammy adds "A good man is hard to find" (43).The grandmother brings up The Misfit, and Red Sammy's wife, who appears to have read about him, says that he might show up at that very place.The grandmother quickly comforts Red Sammy by telling him he let himself get fooled because he's a good man.Apparently, someone took advantage of him last week. Red Sammy comes in, complaining that these days you can't trust anyone.The young girl then calls the restaurant a broken-down place that she wouldn't live in for a million bucks. June Star impresses her by doing a tap dance routine to the jukebox.
