Read the excerpt from "Rhobert” in Cane. Nothing ever really happened. Nothing ever came to Fern, not even I. Something I would do for her. Some fine unnamed thing. . . . And friend, you? She is still living, I have reason to know. Her name, against the chance that you might happen down that way, is Fernie May Rosen. How does Toomer best create a tone of familiarity in this excerpt?
