Dawn drills and the second world
Overhead, Schtitt uses an unamplified bullhorn and careful enunciation to call out for everyone to hear that Mr. revenant Hal Incandenza was letting the ball get the little much behind him on overheads, fears of the ankle maybe. Hal raises his stick in acknowledgment without looking up.
Context
Dawn drills, Schtitt on the bullhorn: "Mr. revenant Hal Incandenza" — the epithet as a needle for the babied ankle, mid-chain between p. 260 and the second-world speech at p. 461. ("The little much behind him" is Schtitt's German-inflected idiolect, exact as written.)
