The Reivers Chapter 10

By William Faulkner

Chapter 10

Here's where we learn why Ned traded the car for Lightning in the first place.
It turns out that his cousin Bobo owes the man who owns Lightning a lot of money, so Bobo stole the horse in order to race it, win money, and pay off his debt.
On the day of the race, Lucius, Ned, and the Lightning are ready.
Lucius loses the first heat, and before he can race again, he, along with Ned and Boon, is taken into custody by the corrupt cop Butch.
Things seem to be going horribly wrong.
