Foreshadowing in "Hunters in the Snow"

p. 188 "I won't say at word. Like I won't say anything about a certain babysitter."

Throughout the short story, Kenny develops as an antagonist. He almost kills Tub in the opening . He mocks Tub and Frank throughout the story. In this quote, he crosses the line again. So, this quote not only foreshadows Frank revealing his mistress, but also of Kenny crossing the line one too many times. The quote hints at Frank having a problem, like everyone else in the story. Frank and Tub's problems are more personal problems with Frank and his marriage and Tub and his weight. These two draw closer again because their problems can be related to each other. Kenny's problem is a very big one, but not one met with the urgency of Frank and Tub's problem.
