Q1:what does "lung up"mean? “It’s none of your business where we were going.” “But when you went by to pick her up . . .” “It was too late! You’d killed her.

You’re as guilty as he is. Every one of you. I couldn’t even stop that night, couldn’t even see her. I could only ask one of the neighbors standing out in the rain what was going on. And he told me there must’ve been some sort of a break-in and the woman who lived in the house was dead. She was dead, and you’d already started sliding out of it.” Saying nothing, Eli glanced at Corbett and tacitly passed the ball. “What you’re saying now doesn’t jibe with your previous statements to the police in the matter of Lindsay Landon’s murder.”Q2: what does "tacitly pass the ball"mean?

does "paint fan"= ordinary colorful fan? “We can take a deeper look.” “And spending some time up there might give you more ideas about how to use that space. I’m going to pick you up a paint fan.” “You are?” “Colors inspire.” “No,” he said after a moment, “I can’t keep up.” “With what?” “You.” Relief when he finally cruised through the village tempered with frustration. Love to radio stations, systematic searches to ambushes to paint fans. “How many directions can you go in at one time?” “I can think in a lot of directions, especially if I consider them important, relevant or interesting. Love’s important, and certainly on a different level I think music on a drive’s important. Searching on the third floor and refining any plan to, hopefully, catch Suskind inside the house are absolutely relevant, and paint colors are interesting—and eventually both important and relevant.” “I surrender,” he said as he pulled up and parked at Bluff House.
