"Just fine,son.Old death has gone thieving elsewhere.But wasn't it a close shave!"
What does the given sentence mean?
Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to your question.
The above words are said by Jody's father who lay sick in his bed. They had killed a doe in order to take the poison to save the father. These words are said when the boy enquires about his father's well-being. He says that he is fine and feels that death is playing a game and taking lives of others, elsewhere. The encounter and the killing of the doe is what he refers to as 'a close shave'.
