Quote #10

Ceremoniously they filled the fruit jars and drank. "Danny liked wine," they said. "Danny was happy when he had a little wine." (17.29-30)

Even though wine was what ultimately got Danny killed (he went over the edge of the gulch in a drunken rage), the friends remember his drinking habits as a happy part of his personality. They drink to remember him and revise history a little bit, saying that wine made him happy.
