new words – spavined

Probably the final word for this book, only 3 pages left. For this one McCarthy uses the second dictionary definition.

Spavined – old and decrepit

The sentence:

“Dervishes of leaves rattled across the yard and in the wind the oaks dipped and creaked, and in the wind even the spavined house hung between the stone chimneys seemed to give a little.”
