Candy said, “Sure, George. Sure I'll do that.” “O.K. Give me a couple minutes then,
and you come runnin' out an' tell like you jus' found her. I'm going now.”
George turned and went quickly out of the barn. Old Candy watched him go.
He looked helplessly back at Curley's wife, and gradually his sorrow and his anger grew into words.
“You God damn tramp,” he said viciously. “You done it, didn't you? I s'pose you're glad.
Ever'body knowed you'd mess things up. You wasn't no good. You ain't no good now, you lousy tart.”
He sniveled, and his voice shook. “I could of hoed in the garden and washed dishes for them guys.”
He paused, and then went on in a singsong. And he repeated the old words:
“If they was a circus or a baseball game... we would of went to her...
jus' said ‘ta hell with work,’ an' went to her. Never ast nobody's say so.
An' they'd of been a pig and chickens... an' in the winter... the little fat stove...
an' the rain comin'... an' us jus' settin' there.”
