Thought the exact thing! But I think every brother wants to protect their sister. But I didn't like how he turned his back on her instantly.

Jimmie was exactly like Pete! The words he used with Hattie were the same ones Pete used to break things off with Maggie.

you both seem to think how I do about Jimmie, he characterises the same traits Pete did. It was the environment aruond him!

yeah, they both grew up in the same bad environment together. They were really the exact same type of guy.
