Pg 34-36
Both men glanced up, for the rectangle of sunshine in the doorway was cut off. A girl was standing there
looking in. She had full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red.
Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on
the insteps of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers. “I’m lookin’ for Curley,” she said. Her
voice had a nasal, brittle quality.
George looked away from her and then back. “He was here a minute ago, but he went.”
“Oh!” She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was
thrown forward. “You’re the new fellas that just come, ain’t ya?”
“Yeah.”
Lennie’s eyes moved down over her body, and though she did not seem to be looking at Lennie she
bridled a little. She looked at her fingernails. “Sometimes Curley’s in here,” she explained.
George said brusquely, “Well he ain’t now.”
“If he ain’t, I guess I better look some place else,” she said playfully.
Lennie watched her, facinated. George said, “If I see him, I’ll pass the word you was looking for him.”
She smiled archly and twitched her body. “Nobody can’t blame a person for lookin’,” she said. There
were footsteps behind her, going by. She turned her head. “Hi, Slim,” she said. Slim’s voice came
through the door. “Hi, Good-lookin’.”
“I’m tryin’ to find Curley, Slim.”
“Well, you ain’t tryin’ very hard. I seen him goin’ into your house.”
She was suddenly apprehensive. “Bye, boys,” she called into the bunk house, and she hurried away.
George looked around at Lennie. “Jesus what a tramp,” he said. “So that’s what Curley picks for a
wife.”
“She’s purty,” said Lennie defensively.
“Yeah, and she’s sure hidin’ it. Curley got his work ahead of him. Bet she’d clear out for twenty bucks.”
Lennie still stared at the doorway where she had been. “Gosh she was purty.” He smiled admiringly.
George looked quickly down at him and then he took him by an ear and shook him.
