Darl XIII (156-164)

"That's a Lucky Break!"



Cash isn't talking, and he has thrown up. Cash isn't talking, but the others try to get him to so they'll know how many of his tools need to be recovered.

Anse keeps saying, "Was there ere a such misfortunate man?" Big help, Anse.

Vernon and Jewel dive to get the tools one by one. Anse says it's lucky Cash broke the same leg as before. (Actually, medically, this is a terrible thing.)

Notice the physicality/sexuality of Dewey Dell being highlighted again:

"Squatting, Dewey Dell's wet dress shapes for the eyes of three blind men those mammalian ludicrosities which are the horizons and the valleys of the earth" (164).
