see such acts as the death of Simon, the smeared blood on the children's
faces, and the attempt on Ralph's life. All these things show how his

... which is fashioned from an old umbrella handle. The weather is cold; it's mid-December, and the ground is frozen. Phoenix's cane taps the frozen earth as she walks along, "like the chirping of a solitary little bird."
Phoenix is very old and very small and dressed in a cotton striped dress that reaches to her shoes, which are untied, the laces dragging the ground. Her head is "tied in a red rag" above her eyes, which are faded blue with age.
