He had attended to the man's movements for some weeks, and now that he had healed enough to be numbered among the walking, Inman was determined to go out to the cart and speak to the man, for Inman figured him to have been living with a wound for a long time.

As you can see there are no brief, unpuctuated sentences... what section or chapter does this question pertain to?
