Joelle's walk and U.H.I.D. (p. 223)
Jim’s eldest, Orin—punter extraordinaire, dodger of flung acid extraordinaire—had once shown Joelle van Dyne his childhood collection of husks of the Lemon Pledge that the school’s players used to keep the sun off. Different-sized legs and portions of legs, well-muscled arms, a battery of five-holed masks hung on nails from an upright fiberboard sheet. Not all the husks had names below them.
Context
The scene opens with the book's most compressed telling of the acid event — "dodger of flung acid extraordinaire," four words carrying the whole catastrophe the veil may or may not answer — hung beside Orin's collection of molted body-husks: five-holed face-masks on nails, limbs without owners. Carlisle routes the husks to the mask/disguise system (the videophony masks of p. 148); either way it's the veil's material culture in a boy's bedroom.
