After possibly acquiring this disease, Sophie nearly reveals her affair to her husband Otto in Paula Fox’s novel Desperate Characters. In another novel, a man with this disease is delayed in firing a gun because it had been set to run through its three empty chambers first. While recalling the death of a man from this disease, his wife “pulls in her horizon like a great fish-net” in a novel’s last lines; that man contracted this disease while his wife held onto a cow’s tail. In that novel, a man with this disease is given a royal burial in Belle Glade. That man acquires this disease amid a 1928 hurricane near the Everglades and is shot by his wife, Janie Crawford. For 10 points, what disease contracted by Tea Cake in Their Eyes Were Watching God also affects the title character of Old Yeller? ■END■
