The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.
"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"
This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.
