A Fever in the Heart: And Other True Cases
“"They couldn't pay me," Vern recalled, "because I was already on the city payroll, so I went and got Morris. We tied a rope around him and I stayed on shore and held on and he swam out and dove until he found the leak." l Morris was still strong as a bull, and a natural swimmer.
Symbolically, one or the other of them was always holding the "rope" for the other, as if they could somehow keep each other safe. Although Vern and his wife didn't socialize much with Morris and Jerilee, Vern had gotte...n to know Jerilee when he visited Morris, and he found her a gracious hostess, a pretty woman who kept a neat house. She seemed devoted to Morris. And Morris clearly adored her.
When Morris told him that Gabby Moore was moving in with him and Jerilee for a while, Vern didn't think much about it. Everyone knew that Gabby was having a rough time over his divorce from Gay. The word was that Gabby had begun to drink something that none of his athletes had ever seen before. Vern was soon aware that Gabby became unreasonably jealous and suspicious when he drank, and heard the rumors that Gay Moore couldn't leave the house on the most innocent of errands without Gabby suspecting she was on her way to some romantic assignation.MoreLess
