Description: 

The place where the adolescent Joe has his first, violent encounter with sexuality and race is described as a "deserted sawmill shed" - a phrasing that leaves us in doubt about whether the mill or just the shed is "deserted" (156). It is enough "miles" from the McEachern place that Joe worries about how late he will "reach home" (155).
