Uddrag
Chapter 4:
It’s Saturday night and most of the men have gone into the town, leaving behind Lennie, Candy, Crooks and Curley’s wife. Lennie goes to Crooks’ room.

At first Crooks does not let Lennie in, because he is angry that he is not allowed to be in the white men’s room. Lennie finally wins him over and the two talk.

Lennie tells crook about their plan to own a farm in their future. Crooks is very interested to be a part of that plan. Curley’s wife enters and the men tell her to leave.

She stays and ask about Curley’s hand, but the men deny Lennie’s involvement. And that makes her angry. She finally leaves when candy can hear the rest of the men coming home.
