Slim sat down on a box and George took his place opposite.
It wasn’t nothing,said Slim.I would of had to drowned most of ’em anyways. No need to thank me about that.
George said,It wasn’t much to you, maybe, but it was a hell of a lot to him. Jesus Christ, I don’t know how we’re gonna get him to sleep in here.
He’ll want to sleep right out in the barn with ’em. We’ll have trouble keepin’ him from getting right in the box with them pups.
It wasn’t nothing,Slim repeated.Say, you sure was right about him. Maybe he ain’t bright, but I never seen such a worker.
He damn near killed his partner buckin’ barley. There ain’t nobody can keep up with him. God awmighty I never seen such a strong guy.
George spoke proudly.Jus’ tell Lennie what to do an’ he’ll do it if it don’t take no figuring.
He can’t think of nothing to do himself, but he sure can take orders.
There was a clang of horseshoe on iron stake outside and a little cheer of voices.
Slim moved back slightly so the light was not on his face.
Funny how you an’ him string along together.It was Slim’s calm invitation to confidence.
What’s funny about it?George demanded defensively.
