"Buzzards"
Darl, already suspicious, sees Dewey Dell staring at Peabody.
Dewey Dell is again described in very physical terms:
"...her leg coming long from beneath her tightening dress: that lever which moves the world: one of that caliper which measures the length and breadth of life" (104)
For poetry fans, compare this passage to John Milton's golden compass.
Again, Darl describes Jewel in terms of wood: "wooden-backed" (103)
Anse thinks he's stopped Jewel from riding the horse.
Darl sees something circling in the sky.
