Description: 

Usually "hot springs" are a natural pools that draw from geothermal energy to heat their water to a temperature higher than that of the human body. In many cultures around the world they are used therapeutically. The hot spring on Doom's plantation is where Sam Fathers' "pappy" Craw-ford (or Crawfish-ford) soaks his feet for three days after he "hurt his back lifting the steamboat" (352). When Doom suggests "the husband of the woman which I won on the steamboat" (353) should sit with him, his back is suddenly better.
