Neddy loved to swim and sets out, the day the story begins, to swim as many pools as he can on an eight mile hike to his home in Bullet Park. He mentally plots his route to his home and sets out to swim the “Lucinda River” as he called it after his wife. First, he stopped at the Grahams where he is cheerfully greeted and enjoys a drink, followed by the Hammer’s, Lear’s, Howland’s, Crosscup’s and Bunker’s. All were prosperous men and women who called him a friend, each greeting him with warm welcomes and his choice of alcohol. As he made his way to the Levy’s, things began to change. A storm brewed and as it let loose a fury of wind and rain he took shelter in the Levy’s gazebo where drank his fourth or fifth
