What did you think about the ending of Numbering all the Bones? Was your favorite part that Mistus finally got her payback, that Mr. Hampton saluted his 'daughter', that justice was finally served for both Neddy and Zeke, or that young Eulinda ended up going with Ms. Barton?

At the beginning, or Prologue of Numbering all the Bones, we see a ring--a mysterious ruby ring on black velvet in a pawn shop window, that holds special meaning for the narrator. She refers to her brothers Zeke and Neddy, her "Mistus" and that the ring had once been lost, found, buried, and now here it sits. She wonders what type of luck it will bring the woman whose hand it will rest on. What do you think, infer, or connect with this. Does this remind you of anything you can make connections with, or do you feel it's a great job of foreshadowing... what are your thoughts?
