Vernon is one of the Mormon missionaries on the Turtle Mountain Reservation. He is infatuated with Grace, and his partner, Elnath, suspects that Vernon and Grace are getting up to “the worst kind of sin.” Elnath and Vernon visit Thomas’s house and give him a copy of the Book of Mormon, which he occasionally reads to try and better understand Arthur V. Watkins’s motivation.
