Quote #10
When Kennicott grunted, she owned, "Well, maybe once or twice I've smelled licker on his breath." (32.1.19)
Even Will Kennicott isn't going to sit around and listen to Mrs. Bogart talk about how her son Cy is a saint. Everyone in town knows that Cy is bad news, and Will grunts to remind Mrs. Bogart that this is the case. Mrs. Bogart would probably never have backed down if it had been Carol who had expressed doubt, but she won't fly off the handle against a man like Will.
