Roskus came and said to come to supper and Caddy said it wasn’t supper time yet.
“Yes ’tis.” Roskus said. “Dilsey say for you all to come on to the house. Bring them on, Versh.” He went up the hill, where the cow was lowing.
“Maybe we’ll be dry by the time we get to the house.” Quentin said.

“They wont know you got wet.” Versh said. “It dont show on you. Less me and Jason tells.”
“Are you going to tell, Jason.” Caddy said.
“Tell on who.” Jason said.
“He wont tell.” Quentin said. “Will you, Jason.”
“I bet he does tell.” Caddy said. “He’ll tell Damuddy.”
“He cant tell her.” Quentin said. “She’s sick. If we walk slow it’ll be too dark for them to see.”
