Leif Enger Quote

Before reaching Grassy Butte, though, Dad spied a farmhouse with two pumps in the drive and a red-and-white sign out front saying DALE'S OIL COMPANY. Another sign said CLOSED, but a light was on in the house and Dad pulled in, saying, I believe we might prevail on Dale. What do you think?Prevail on Dale, I repeated to Swede.To make a sale, she added.And if we fail, we'll whale on Dale--Till he needs braille!Will you guys desist? Dad asked.
