Chapter 6

- He'southward thinking most how much trouble he causes George, proverb, "If George don't desire me…I'll get away. I'll go away."
- Just then, who should he conjure out of the nighttime corners of his wearisome mind, but his dead Aunt Clara?
- "Aunt Clara" lights into Lennie: she accuses him of never thinking of George, fifty-fifty though George is ever and so nice to him. "Overnice" activities include saving him the bigger piece of pie and giving him all the ketchup, when there is whatever.
- Aunt Clara gets grumpier, listing off all the boozing and women George could have had without Lennie.
- While Lennie whines that he's always trying, Aunt Clara announces he never had whatsoever intention of leaving George the hell alone. Aunt Clara swears a surprising amount. Her grammer also leaves something to be desired.
- So, Aunt Clara disappears, only to be replaced past a very large and aroused rabbit that (not surprisingly) also has Lennie's phonation.
- If you lot idea the dead aunt was bad, the scary, mind-reading rabbit reaches into Lennie and hits him where it hurts: it scoffs at Lennie's hope to tend to rabbits: he "own't fit to lick the boots of no rabbit."

- As George is readying his courage, Lennie says, "Le'southward do it now. Le'due south get that identify now."
