"Pantaloon in Black", 240 (Event)

two time periods the present and the remembered , should some of Rider’s memories – the ones with a sense of setting to them be added as events – can we show the movement of the memory/imagination on our map? The question of whether Mannie is "present" in this event is also up for debate. We have placed her as mentioned here though in the next one she is certainly present as a ghost.
CUT SUMMARY: As Rider reaches the house, the narrator sketches two portraits: Rider’s life before Mannie, a life filled with work but without interest in long-term developments, and his life after marrying her, one in which both he and she worked hard to make improvements that can be seen, most obviously, in the repairs on the house and the stove in which Mannie bakes bread and cake.
CUT KEYWORDS: work, labor, the rhythms of domestic life, savings, home improvement, marriage, hearth, past and present in one space, memory
