“It was more than a normal sane man like Brown Limper could tolerate.
He had felt he was losing ground lately, and he beat his head to think of ways and means, even criminal, to correct this gross mistake people were making about that Tyler!
Since Jonnie Goodboy Tyler had come to the village last year, prancing about, bribing people with gifts- while really only trying to do them out of their lands and houses- and since Brown Limper had realized that Tyler was not only not properly... dead but apparently moving in a larger world and moving far too successfully-Brown Limper had been lying in wait.
When he recalled how he had been put upon and scorned and held up to ridicule by Tyler ever since they were children, he seethed. He had to be careful not to dwell on it too much, for then he would lie awake in bed and roll and toss and grit his teeth and bring on a fever. That the instances of Tyler’s doing those things could not be directly recalled or isolated as actual incidents only made it grindingly worse.MoreLessRead More Read Less
