Notes: 

TMT: Lorie and I decided that the children arrive in the July after the installation of Eula's medallion in October 1927: "One morning--it was summer again now, July," Chick says (376); Flem is "busy being a banker now and a deacon in the Baptist church, living in solitary widowerhood in the old De Spain house which he had remodeled into an ante-bellum Southern mansion" (377). We decided this was a movement forward in time rather than a flashback.

Summary: 

Byron's children are discovered breaking into the town's "coca cola bottling plant," but the town marshal is afraid to take them into custody (379).
