Worse, Phineas has begun to prod Gene to follow him in nonsensical feats of daring. The athlete fearlessly climbs a tall tree by a riverbank, walks the length of a limb, and leaps far out into safe, deep water. Gene queasily repeats the stunt, and bitterly resents the compulsion that makes him do it. Soon Gene comes to suspect that everything Phineas does is calculated to humiliate...
