The lottery was conducted – as were the square dances, the teen-age club, the Halloween program – by Mr. Summers, who had time and energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him, because he had no children and his wife was a scold.

β€”β€œThe Lottery,”
Shirley Jackson

A. It is ironic that Mr. Summers is such a happy man, because he plans on deciding which member of the community has to die.
