"Let's see, who's he got to take care of? He's an old bachelor. He ain't never married or had a family. So, with him working so many years...Don't you think he's bound to
have money? And then, what's that man spend his money on? The only thing he buys
is his bit of food every Saturday. Once in a while, a beer, but that's all."
"Yeah, he's gotta have a pile of money, for sure. But, you think he's going to bury it
around here?"
“Who said he's burying anything? Look, he always goes for his food on Saturday.
Let's check close where he goes this week, and on Saturday, when he's on his errand,
we'll see what he's hiding. Whadda you say?"
What inference can be made about the boys, based on this passage.
They think material wealth (money) is all that matters.
They think that Don Trine didn't like being married and is happy living alone.
They think Don Trine spends his money foolishly because he lives an
extravagent lifestyle.
They think Don Trine has poor time management, and that is why he has to hide
from his boss on Saturday.
