Chapter 3 (Rebecca, Tim, Hill)

This chapter is mainly about a woman named Dora who is the manager of her whore house Bear Flag Restaurant and a man named William who was the previous watchman of Bear Flag Restaurant before he committed suicide. Dora is a great woman with flaming orange hair and green evening dresses. Being against the law, she leads a ticklish existence and must be twice as law abiding as anyone else. Although in this occasion, Dora is still respected, honest and generous, paying bills for hungry children and jobless fathers even during the depression. But things don’t go that well with William. He was a pathetic guy and was the watchman before the present watchman Alfy, who is more welcomed than him, took over. He has a dark and ugly face and a mouse twisted with brooding. And he was also a dark and lonesome-looking man. He wanted to integrate into society and joined the group of Mac and boys, but he failed again and again because they hated him, a pimp. He tried to find other people such as Dora and a prostitute in Dora’s brothel named Eva, and got nothing but carelessness and yelling. And he finally committed suicide when meeting the last people, the Greek, by using the Greek's ice pick snapping into heart.
