Jane Gallagher's Kings
''Ask her if she still keeps all her kings in the back row.'' 34
''She wouldn't move any of her kings. What she'd do, she'd get a king, and she wouldn't move it. She'd just leave it in the back row. . . Then she'd never use them. She just liked how they looked when they were all in the back row.'' pg. 31-32
Jane Gallagher's refusal to use her kings, to allow them to be taken by the other player can represent both her and Holden's retreat from the world, their desire for something unsullied, and perhaps an inability to form attachments.
