Her brother Til told her all about that. Til knows how to make things. He knows how to make Cass help him exercise his peejabber so it'll reach his knee someday. Cass learns from other folks besides Til. Their neighbor Mrs. Simpson has told her all about the niggers, but Cass's friend Jimmie Lou, the white trash girl down the street, tells her the fountain water is the same for coloreds as for whites.
