Joe Bell came to the narrator's apartment hysterical about what he read in the newspaper. He arrived unable to make complete sentences. He knew they had accused Holly Golightly of being involved in some illegal business. He also knew that she was in jail and he had to do something to help her. He presented the newspaper to the narrator so he could read the counts. | |||
Joe Bell asked the narrator if he thought she could commit such an act. The narrator stated "But there, she did do it. Carry messages and whatnot---". (Capote 94) Joe didn't expect that type of response from the narrator. He popped a Tums in his mouth and, glaring at me, chewed it as though he were crunching my bones. (Capote 94) | |||
Joe Bell truly cared for Holly. He knew he had to free her from that jail cell. He immediately start calling people that would bale Holly out as soon as possible. That's probably why he began with O.J. Berman. | |||
