<span style="background-color: rgb(248, 247, 247);">Aunt Beryl was looking after Harley while Carl worked. Harley rode off while Aunt Beryl slept. Carl picked it up ... He didn't move far. A chain was looped through the frame and around the post, secured by a small padlock. Carl was horrified...shook at the chain just as Harley would when he discovered it. pg90 <span style="background-color: rgb(248, 247, 247);">"You know what the little bastard's done now? First he's gone and pinched a couple of spray cans from the hardware and then he's covered half the town in Graffiti."pg 91 Aunt Beryl <span style="background-color: rgb(248, 247, 247);">Harley sat...in the lounge chair...his arms folded, head down. Despite his efforts...there was no disguising the angry red swelling on the boy's cheekbone. Carl...made him raise his head. Saw the mark more clearly, felt the pain of it, until Harley turned his face away, fighting tears, shame and misery trembling on his lower lip. pg 91
