"But then, near the end of October, his girlfriend dumped him. It was a hard blow. Dobbins went quiet for a while, staring down at her letter, then after a time he took out the stockings and tied them around his neck as a comforter.
'No sweat,' he said. 'The magic doesn't go away.'" (pg.118)
Dobbins always seems to have this positiveness around him it is also kind of a CLICHE since he is big that he is automatically good, honest, and a big cutie pie. That seems to happen in many books and movies today. But even so it never gets old to me. I enjoy Dobbins thorough zest for life and the way even after such a rough end to a relationship he manages to mask his true feelings or truly believe these panty hose will help him. It inspires me but also makes me think that maybe he is delusional. Maybe he believes this girl doens't really mean it. Either way he gets through or works through his grief.
