          "text": "Julius Smart grew up on a farm not too far from Cassionsville, which is why\nhe went back there to buy a drugstore (148). He was about 25 years old at\nthe time of Macafee's birthday party, so he had been out of college for only\na year or two. He mentions more than once about how well Tilly paid him, but\nif Tilly ever paid him at all, Smart had known him for less than a week\nbefore Tilly's death. I don't care how well Tilly's in-laws may have paid\nhim to keep that drugstore open, I don't see how he could have earned enough\nto buy Bledsoe's in that little time, even with the help of the bank. Where\ndid the money come from? Smart's parents were both alive when he set out to\nlook for work, but they were both dead by the time of the party (116).\nCoincidence?\n\nAt the same point in the novel that we learn that Miss Birkhead was a Mrs.,\nJulius Smart picked up a middle initial (244). Now what do you suppose that\n\"T\" stood for?\n\nRoy"
