Quote #10

Ding. He was too weak to stand up and too sick to care about the water Piper brought him.

So I covered him with a grain sack and shot him in the head. (1.26.27-28)

Remember Ding, that baby goat from nine quotes ago that personified innocence? What could indicate that there is no innocence left in the English countryside more than finding Ding weak, starving, and struggling? Oh, when Daisy has to shoot him in the head to put him out of his misery. See you, innocence—wouldn't want to be you.
