Answer:
The above words are said by Jody's father who lay sick in his bed. They had killed a doe in order to take the poison to save the father. These words are said when the boy enquires about his father's well-being. He says that he is fine and feels that death is playing a game and taking lives of others, elsewhere. The encounter and the killing of the doe is what he refers to as 'a close shave'
