He carries his coin under his arm; it is the fare for the taxi ride. It is a Danish one. symbolic of what he hopes it is on the brunch menu. Pokey and his family are the turtle helpers in the clan; they turn them over when turtles have fallen on their backs. Eddie is his son. He is married to Jennie. |
