Loach's standing gratitude to Mario

timeline_event

texture · UNDATED (standing, ~YDAU)

When: UNDATED (standing, present-tense)
What: Because it was Mario who, by coincidence, saved him from Boston Common's panhandling netherworld and got him his job, Loach "all but kisses the kid's ring" — one of the many E.T.A. and Enfield-Brighton figures who treat Mario with unusual warmth. (The endnote hanging off the job sentence, n.118, carries no Loach content — it is about Mario and the blue-collar staff.)
