Tull follows the Bundrens to the washed-out bridge. Dewey Dell says Whitfield crossed, but that was 3 days ago. Anse reminds them of his promise to Addie.

"...it ain't never been what he done so much or said or anything so much as how he looks at you. It's like he had got into the inside of you, someway." (125)
