* Damn! I haven’t wanted to allude to the depressing subject of Skyler’s ongoing medical maladies. To his parents’ dismay, three years after his gym accident Skyler was still suffering “intermittent chronic” pain in his twice-broken right leg: femur, fibula. Also, knee. Also, neck pain. And “crawly numbness” on the right side of his scalp, occasionally “drilling into” his brain. These various pains were treated with an ever-shifting battery of painkillers and (Skyler had reason to suspect) placebos. (How many children of nine are fully aware of what “placebos” are? In Fair Hills, quite a few.) Bix Rampike was especially upset by his son’s physical condition and can you blame him? How does a father feel, in the company of a limping son? A limping son with a midget-cane? No wonder, by the time gabby Mrs. Fenn, or Mrs. Frass, enters the scene, the “guy-stuff” interlude was rapidly approaching its end.
