Roswell Bounce, early in AtD, self-employed photographer...echoing Morris Teflon from V. trying to photograph Benny doing it........Bounce and a non-stick surface........Keep it Bouncing, is Pierce's phrase......
Lew is told he keeps 'bouncing out" of the tracks of his destiny...."But you keep bouncing free. Avoiding penance and thereby definition.".....
Enters a "productive delirium"....
This judgment was before he understood "grace"...things were exactly what they were" ......before he became
a detective.........before his observational skills were noticed. "Notice things. ..Amazing"....[Be one on whom nothing is lost--H. James]
Which one might infer is now his destiny...and penance?
