"They're goin' to be awful nice and awful mean."
"Awful nice and awful mean," Katherine repeated. "That's interesting. What do you mean by that?"
"They're goin' to be awful nice to your face, but mean on the sly."
"Have they done anything mean yet?" Miss Ladd interposed, having in mind the depredations of the night before.
"I don't know," the boy answered. "They were talkin' about doing somethin' last night, and the man and Jim went out together."
"You don't know what they proposed to do?"
"No-just somethin', anything they could."
"What is your name, little boy?" Hazel asked.
"Glen" was the answer.
