In a letter from Drum to Mora on 138 he spoke of a "large dark skinned woman" who said, "let me take her Ryder"
In a letter from Mora (139-410) to Drum he had something to say about the 'Dark Woman'.
It harks back in my mind to the 'large dark skinned woman' who was so prominent in 'The Summer Boy'
On page 48 of that work we read:
" 'huge woman (dark skinned) let out a whoop and folded him into her ample bosom"; that was Calley.
Might it have been Calley who spoke to Drum as Ryder?
Might have been... She's a wild spirit, that one, but not wholly spirit.
