Marie's rationale was if June looked presentable, the more respectable Marie looked in the eyes of others. In a disciplinarian way, Marie ruled her children. When they were hanging June, she ran out and took control with I grabbed Gordie's ear and rapped his hind end. For good measure, I grabbed Aurelia and licked her good, too. When I’d finished, I threw them down and stood staring at them, panting and furious. (88) Marie was the caretaker of all and would not put up with anything that interfered with her desire for acceptance and respect. Lulu, on the other hand, is a more gentle mother of nine.

directing his corrosive anger at the two of them. Mick’s proposition to Davies to take up the role of the Caretaker has various connotations. There is the latent understanding that Davies would not only take care of the dilapidated house but also provide some sort of comfort as he watches over Mick’s mentally disintegrated brother.
