"Lafe!"
Dewey Dell again hits the refrain that the doctor could do so much for her. She feels completely alone--she wouldn't feel alone if she felt the child, but then again, everyone would then know.
She goes out to the barn to be alone, and as she starts calling out "Lafe!" it turns out that Vardaman is already in the barn. Oops.
How can the cow's situation be compared to Dewey Dell's?
Notice how Faulkner describes Dewey Dell in very physical terms... she's naked beneath her clothes, for example.
Cash wants Vardaman to go get the horse, because it "will let him catch him." (59) How is this ironic? What does this tell us about Cash's abilities of perception?
Note Dewey Dell's observation of Adse: "He looks like right after the maul hits the steer and it no longer alive and dont yet know that it is dead." (59)
She also calls Peabody "a tub of guts" (58).
