About This Passage
Kate DiCamillo describes a Saturday ritual in five short sentences. The repetition of 'every Saturday' tells us this is a habit — and habits in this book are how love is shown.
Every Saturday after lunch, Mr. Watson goes outside. Mercy follows him. They stand in the driveway together. They admire Mr. Watson's convertible.
