Dewey Dell - Chapter 7 Summary

Dewey Dell remembers a time when she was picking cotton with Lafe, her boyfriend. As she recalls, Lafe was trying to get Dewey Dell to have sex with her in the woods at the end of the row, but Dewey Dell said she would only do it if her sack was full at the end of the row.
