Welcome to Chapter 3 and we are so glad you made it this far! Thank you! This chapter offers a few moments of foreshadowing including the quote for this episode by the Mennonite...who hints at something we will hear from the judge and has become an iconic quote from this novel, "War was always here, before man was, war waited for him." Is that the wrath God has lying waiting? We think about the humour, and developing prose, and historical aspects to this chapter.  Let us know what you think of the podcast by leaving a review. We will randomly send out a gift, Blood Meridian related, to a reviewer.    Again thanks for listening.   We have supplemental content on our substack page too.
