“Hey Worm, did you see old Crumbliss in the paper this mornin?

What’s he done now?

They found him about six oclock this mornin under a tree in a big alfalfa field. He found the only tree in the whole field and run into it. They said when the cops come and opened the door old Crumbliss fell out and just laid there. Directly he looked up and seen them blue suits and he jumped up and hollered, said: Where is that man I hired to drive me home?”     (Suttree, Cormac McCarthy)
