Asked by Christine

What is the definition of the word "hamebells" from the book "The Red Pony" by Steinbeck. I have searched all dictionary sources I could and can't seem to find out anythin on it. Is it, perhaps, a slang word for something else?
Answered by Ms. Sue
A hame is a part of a harness for a draft hourse.
