The Reivers Chapter 12

By William Faulkner

Chapter 12

At the racetracks on race day, Lucius finds himself sitting atop Lightning and ready to go.
Ned reveals that the reason he was able to train the mules way back when was because he used his family's secret: sardines. He figured feeding Lightning sardines would have the same winning effect.

And guess who is there on the sidelines watching?
Grandpa.
Uh oh.
