Chapter nine was full of flashbacks from earlier in the book. Some included Wild Bob saying, " 'If you're ever in Cody, Wyoming..." (188), and when Billy flashed back to telling the Three Musketeers to go on without him. I think this had a lot to do with the fact that he was still recovering from the airplane crash and trying to find a way to cope with it, so he is mentally traveling through time again. This was also a chapter in which I started to figure out that the mental time travel was merely a coping device. He was not actually traveling through time as he did not have that ability, but his memories were so close to him that he could relive everything.
