A very small, seemingly insignificant detail only mentioned this one time in the book, and yet Hugh Dancy captures it. Previously: Can we talk about Hugh Dancy. Nor does he care what anyone else standing around might think. This little detail serves the purpose of illustrating just how few steps lie between ordinary men and the Dragon, how little difference there is between misogyny and unspeakable violence.
And the claim here is that it is all rooted in fear —fear, which Will Graham feels so frequently, and so acutely. The price of his imagination. The Hateful Snake bar was in a storefront with the windows painted dark green. The vehicles parked outside were an odd assortment, big trucks looking bobtailed without their trailers, compact cars, a lilac convertible, old Dodges and Chevrolets crippled with high rear ends for the drag-strip look, four full-dress Harley-Davidsons.
The place was crowded and smelled of disinfectant and stale Canoe. The bartender, a husky woman in overalls, reached over heads at the service bar to hand Graham his Coke. She was the only woman there.
Niles Jacobi, dark and razor-thin, was at the jukebox. He put the money in the machine, but the man beside him pushed the buttons. He wore a T-shirt and jeans, worn white over the objects in his pockets.
His arms were knotty with muscle, and he had large, ugly hands. As he reached for a button on the lighted jukebox, Graham saw a small shaved patch on his forearm. Pony welcomes into the room Randy Adderson, a Soc. Randy explains that he is visiting because Cherry has heard his name on the bulletin at school and because everyone involved in Bob's killing has to see the judge the next day regarding the death.
Randy says that his dad advised him to just tell the truth before the judge. Randy also tells Pony that he regrets his involvement in the fight because it has upset his father.
Pony is amazed, because he sees the consequences Randy faces as minimal — Randy's father is rich; he can pay any fine the judge imposes and clear his son of any charges. Ponyboy and his brothers have avoided talking about the upcoming meeting with the judge.
This hearing could possibly be the end of their home life together, and nobody wants to accept that possibility. Pony tells Randy this fear, and Randy advises him to tell the truth. He continues by stating that Pony isn't guilty of any crime and Johnny was the one who wielded the knife.
At this pronouncement, Ponyboy erupts, "I had the knife. I killed Bob. Pony repeats, "Johnny is not dead. Darry explains to Randy that the doctor has said that Ponyboy is still suffering mentally and emotionally and that only time will heal him. A careful reader is not surprised by the turn of events in this chapter.
In the previous chapter, Pony stated about Johnny, "He isn't dead, I said to myself. Hindu devotees say they understand the health risks but need to observe the religious festival.
