luther worked at the factory and when he was n't working he was playing ball and when he was n't playing ball he was fixing something and when he was n't fixing something he was running with his boys through the columbus night and when he was n't doing that he was with lila , and she had the full force of his attention because whatever luther focused on , he focused on it to the exclusion of all else , so that when it was lila he was charming , he was making laugh , he was pouring his full self at , she felt that nothing , not even the warmth of the lord , projected such light .
