Candy Joins The Dream

In my reading Of Mice and Men today, part three, there is a new person interested in hooking up with Lennie and George to "live off the fatta da land". Candy overhears George and Lennie discussing their dream plans. He asks if he can join, and also volunteers to invest his life's savings so they can begin their new life sooner.  I really enjoyed the part of the conversation where the men discussed what they could do if they were their own boss.  They could just go to a circus if one came to town, or they could have friends over to spend the night.  They almost sounded like kids they were so excited.  "George said wonderingly, 'S'pose they was a carnival or circus come to town, or a ball game, or any damn thing." Old Candy nodded in appreciation of the idea. "We'd just go to her,' George said. 'We wouldn't ask nobody if we could. Jus' say, 'Well go to her, 'an' we would. Jus' milk the cow and sling some grain to the chickens an' go to her.'"  I can't wait to see what happens next.
