Darl X (107-109)

"Smelly Corpse Passes Tull's"



The funeral procession passes Tull's place. Cash observes that in a couple of days Addie will be smelling. (Darl has already mentioned this.)

Jewel rides by, and splashes mud on the coffin, which Cash then scours with a willow.

Compare Cash and Darl's powers of perception. Also, the symbolism of the mud and the coffin is hard to miss.
