“Did he call me a son of a bitch?
Another happy accident from the play. Every time John Little (played beautifully by my dear friend Larry Creagan) walked away in this scene saying the line "He's the son of a rich land owner," it sounded like he was saying "He's a son of a bitch." I had him change the line to "He's the son of a *wealthy* land owner" in the play, but kept this interaction in the novel.
