Summary
Analysis
Fred Kelly informs Saul that Virgil now works in a mine and has three children. Saul and Fred have lunch, and Fred tells him that he could still play for a local tournament team. Saul is only thirty-three, after all. Saul replies, “Sounds perfect to me.”
Saul shows a willingness to follow Fred’s advice and take life one step at a time. He’s still a fairly young man, with a long life ahead of him. It’s clear that Saul is beginning to take an interest in rebuilding his life.
