2. Voice Lesson: Diction #4 Read and Think:
Write About It:
Brown as a coffee-berry, rugged, pistoled, spurred, wary, indefeasible*, I saw my old friend, Deputy- Marshal Buck Caperton, stumble with jingling rowels**, into a chair in the marshal’s outer office
-- O. Henry, “The Lonesome Road,” 41 Stories by O. Henry
*something that can’t be cancelled
**a sharp-toothed wheel in the end of a spur
1. Look at the first two boldface words (pistoled and spurred). Both of these words describe Deputy-Marshal Buck Caperton. What do they mean? How would the meaning change if O. Henry had said, I saw my old friend Deputy-Marshal Buck Caperton, who was wearing a pistol and spurs, stumble…?
2. The word indefeasible is usually used to describe a contract or some kind of legal document. O. Henry uses it to describe a character. What does it mean in this context? In other words, how can a person be indefeasible? What does this choice of words add to the impact of the sentence?
