It's another five years before Sheppard finally dies; Basin knows him for all of five months. When the preceding veterinarian had disclosed that Sheppard existed—that Sheppard came to the clinic for medical care, that the veterinarian position in this town was available because the preceding veterinarian was retiring to live in the woods and take close care of Sheppard—the preceding veterinarian told Basin how the last five years had run their course.
