As my memories started jumping around in my head, the morning after we missed dinner started playing like a movie in my head, exclusively only for me to see. I can see it now, "Mr. Prud'homme stopped at our door."(pg.14) I remember that gave me the chills. I was so terrified of the consequences that could have happened to Finny and I. He questioned why we were so wet in our room. Finny said, and i remember the exact words, "The real reason, sir, was that we just had to jump out of that tree. You know that tree . . . ."(pg. 15) "Mr. Prud'homme released his breath with a sort of amazed laugh, stared at Finny for a while, and that's all there was to it." (pg. 16) That was the thing about Finny, he had such a sincere way to him that he could get away with just about anything. It was almost supernatural, the way he could get around anything. It was like his sixth sense or some sort of super power. I was quite jealous of him at the time.
(Mr. Prud'homme)
