( the lean years gave him a lotta perspective on the world over. fact of the matter is, he an' his brothers used to survive off the slop off an abattoir floor. the scrapes an' leaving's an' the blood an' bits that weren't no good to nobody but the starvin'. the war went on an' intensified that, folks with barely enough makin' do with what they had. he's seen hunger, he's seen horror.
he knows when the both of them have had their teeth in a body. she ain't built the way folk get when hunger really gets into you, but he recognizes the manner of famishment that sets her to eatin' the cake an', wordless, he pushes another piece over to her. )
