    At this stage of the novel, Dunny's sidekick is none other than Paul Dempster, the child who Dunny feels responsible for and protective over. Both of Dunny's introvert and extrovert sides come out when he's with Paul. Dunny indulges his extrovert side of himself when he becomes Paul's "instructor" and teaches him all manner of magic tricks, card tricks, and slight of hand tricks (33). Dunny indulges his introverted side of himself when he shares with Paul his fascination and obsession with Hagiography, or the study of Catholic saints.
