Chapter 100

A few hours later, they returned with a boar. Jesse helped carry it as it was strung up on a pole. They took it over to a hole in the ground which had hot coals already in it. They set the boar on the spokes and left it to cook. The men sat around and started drinking. When they were ready to get the party started, they took Jesse into the house, making him remove his shoes.

They wrapped him in a traditional loincloth over his trunks. He looked at it and wasn’t sure about it. All the men put them on and came back out. There was a table laden with food and a fire that was burning. He wondered where Renee had gotten off to. The men gathered around and got the boar off the spit. They placed it on the table and the women came out of another house.
