Forepocket

Joseph Paul took a pipe from the forepocket of his overalls. The bowl was a .50 caliber cartridge shell, soldered to a metal stem. He shook a small amount of tobacco into it from a sack and tamped it with his little finger.

His hands were thrust down into the forepockets of his trousers. `Ye're an awfu' man Jock.'

When he lowered the skiff they lay gaping on the boards under a sun that withered them visibly, Suttree gripped his forepockets, searching.

This young woman had a long bare neck that reminded Amory of an artist's model, and her hands were thrust into the fore-pockets of a brown knitted coat.
