Rabbit, Run Chapter 11 Summary
Rabbit feels like Eccles has freed him from underground hibernation.
He gets dressed and tries to communicate with Ruth.
He thinks she isn’t sleeping and he tries again.
He tries again to tell her he’s going to see Janice and the baby.
When she doesn’t move, he’s afraid he somehow killed her. (It’s not clear whether he means because of the blowjob, or because of going to Janice.)
He tries again and, when she doesn’t answer, he threatens not to return if she doesn’t answer this time. She does not.
He knows he could wake her if he touched her, but “he doesn’t like being manipulated and grows angry.”
