Question
Read the excerpt from The Land by Mildred Taylor.
She said she was there to serve his table, not to sit at it, though I think she was more concerned about how it would look to others if she sat at his table. People hearing that Edward Logan's children of color sat at his table was one thing. A colored woman with her children sitting at his table would have been another; that would have been too bold.
Still, there were times when my mama and daddy did sit together, though not at meals. Sometimes when my daddy came into the kitchen, he would sit at the table and talk to my mama as she worked, and sometimes she would stop her work and join him.
Which word or phrase makes the transition from one idea to another?
still
times
sometimes
together

The word that makes the transition from one idea to another is "still." It indicates a shift in the narrative to a contrasting idea about the times when the speaker's parents did sit together, despite the previous concern about social norms.
