Staunch Christians Oriel and Lester Lamb have all six of their children in tow: three boys ( Quick, Fish, and Lon) and three girls ( Hattie, Elaine, and Red). Meanwhile, in another town, the Lamb family heads to the riverside to go prawn fishing. The two of them go fishing on a beach one night, only for Joel to die of a heart attack. Joel eventually gets Sam to go out and try living one-handed, encouraging him not to give up. ![]() ![]() In the following weeks and months, Dolly can barely stand to look at her husband. The pub is owned by Sam’s brother Joel, whose luck seems much more reliable than Sam’s. ![]() After recovering, Sam returns home to the Eurythmic, a pub where the Pickles family has been living ever since Sam gambled away everything he owned. His wife Dolly eventually shows up at the hospital to visit him, and their children also show up: Rose, Ted, and Chub. Before he even starts his work day, his glove gets caught in the cogs of a machine, causing him to lose all of the fingers on his right hand. This is how he refers to strange sensations that he’ll occasionally feel when some sort of major shift in luck is about to occur usually, it’s bad luck. Sam Pickles awakens one morning on the small island where he works, and he feels the “Shifty Shadow” lurking. ![]()
