“Tha’s right. That’s where we come from, an’ we’s on our way to Sacramento. You knowed that,” George added a little critically. “An’ you know why we’ve gotta head to Sacramento, don’t you?”

“I forgot.”

“You ain’t forgot.”

“I forgot, George.” Lennie spoke quietly, but his fear of George had slipped out of mind. He loaded the supplies back into his bindle.

“That’s good,” George praised, “You cleanin’ that up without me tellin’ you to.” He slid easily into his next topic, “You wasn’t so good in Auburn. You done bad things up there, an’ you’s jus’ too dumb to know you done it.”

Lennie apologized sincerely and instinctively.

“I awready know that you‘s sorry. You’s always sorry. But me an’ your Aunt Clara always hadda get you out of messes in Auburn. Ain’t you remember none of that? Well, I guess it don’t matter so much now we ain’t there; maybe it’ll be dif’ernt in Sacramento, huh? You gonna do any bad things in Sacramento?”

Lennie shook his head and shoulders in a half-bodied, fully enthusiastic ‘no’.

Oooh. I love Of Mice And Men. I'm interested to see what you do with it (despite and almost in spite of your icon :D).

xD Thanks! I loved it when we had to read it a couple years ago; it's one of the few 'force-this-on-highschool-freshmen' books I think holds up.
