A scan-verified sketch outline arranges Animal the III into seasonal sections while handwritten notes add travel, witchcraft, death, the Boat House, Prankster's old quarters, and the final movement toward dance.

The page is both table of contents and drafting map. The handwritten additions show the outline changing in place: canceled typed titles give way to motion-picture and dance language, and the bottom paragraph turns the structural list into a concrete sequence of action.

A 'Sketch' for 'ANIMAL THE III' that organizes chapters by season as much as by plot. The FIRST SECTION runs 'SLEEPING BEAUTY', 'BLOWN OUT BLACK SHEEP', and 'TECHNOLOGICAL RESURRECTION' (all 'spring') into the Pirandello-echoing 'FOUR CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN ANIMAL' ('summer'); the SECOND moves through 'THE PARLOR TO THE BOAT HOUSE', the Colonel's bid, the Prankster's plea, and 'THE COURTSHIP OF JAUQUELINE AT JIVEN JOE'S', tagged 'witchcraft' and 'ship - Alone'. What lifts the page past a contents list is its closing prose block, a real scene: Animal collects 'pay' at 'O'Anthony's', and on the way to the Boat House comes 'the death of Prankster in the desert of outer valley lights'; he goes 'under the pier' to 'Prankster's old quarters' to begin 'his own', cutting to men discussing 'Blankname's sister' and then to 'the new watching him running / north', under the banner 'The Thrill of the / Dance and After'. Provisional: 'mixed' band, with canceled typed titles deliberately omitted.
