DARL

"JEWEL," I SAY, "WHOSE SON ARE YOU?"

The breeze was setting up from the barn, so we
put her under the apple tree, where the moonlight can
dapple the apple tree upon the long slumbering flanks
within which now and then she talks in little trickling
bursts of secret and murmurous bubbling. I took Varda-
man to listen. When we came up the cat leaped down
from it and flicked away with silver claw and silver eye
into the shadow.

"Your mother was a horse, but who was your father,
Jewel?"

"You goddamn lying son of a bitch."

"Don't call me that," I say.

"You goddamn lying son of a bitch."

"Don't you call me that, Jewel." In the tall moonlight
his eyes look like spots of white paper pasted on a high
small football.

After supper Cash began to sweat a little. "It's getting
a little hot," he said. "It was the sun shining on it all day,
I reckon."

"You want some water poured on it?" we say. "Maybe
that will ease it some."

"I'd be obliged," Cash said. "It was the sun shining on
it, I reckon. I ought to thought and kept it covered."

"We ought to thought," we said. "You couldn't have
suspicioned."

"I never noticed it getting hot," Cash said. "I ought to
minded it."
