The Post Before The Last One

Chapter 10 starts with Lamar's thoughts on the previous conversation in the last post. He says that it always ate at him. He is giving up on finding God as he has waited "eighty some-odd" years for him to come into his life. He had tried to live in such a strict way that nothing he did would ever eat at him like his decision in the war. He also talks about the way he has little idea of what the world is nowadays comparing himself to one of his grandparents, Harold who died in the first World War. Next Bell gets a call about Chigurh and he questions 2 boys that had been at the accident after the murder of Carla. Lamar finds out that the boys had been given a hundred dollar Bill for a shirt and to say that they don't know what he looked like. The one boy confesses it but the other, David DeMarco is less cooperative. Chapter 11 begins with Lamar in his visit to Moss' parents. His dad talks about how Moss had been a sniper in Vietnam and wasn't the same after. He then describes his last day on the job. He describes his attempt to save the boy in Huntsville by testifying in court, although he knew it'd probably do no good. After the trial and as the boy sat on death row he talked to him about how he was sorry and that he thought he was innocent. The boy then confesses to the crime basically in a manor that says that he would commit the same cold blooded murder again. Then it is not in his thoughts anymore but about Bell heads out to find his wife on horseback in the fields. He finds her and sat down with her talking watching the sunset and the doves.
