...they could really make their stake, buy their little farm, settle down to make their dream come true. But then things began to go wrong. The boss's son was an ugly customer, and he had just married a floozy who kept him at a white heat of suspicion. When he picked on Lennie, the big half-wit got so panicky that he seized his little tormentor's hand, crushed it nearly to bits.
