Godfrey thinks Dunstan

• is the thief who took Silas' money

• will come home one day

• has been hurt

• wants nothing to do with his family

Godfrey goes to the town where Dunstan went on the hunt,

• to see Bryce

• to find out about his brother

• to see Nancy Lammeter

• to play a trick on his brother

Godfrey and Dunstan

• lie to each other

• look out for each other

• put up with each other to make their father happy

• do not get along

Godfrey needs courage to tell his father that

• he is married

• he does not want to get married

• he let Dunstan sell his horse

• Duncan is not coming home

Squire Cass thinks

• he has been too hard on his boys

• his boys can do no wrong

• his boys need to work for their money

• his boys must never get married

First, Godfrey goes to Mrs. Osgood's birthday party. Then, he goes looking for his brother. Next,

• his problems keep him up all night

• he makes breakfast for his father

• he tells his father about his wife

• he talks back to his father

Godfrey thinks that if he tells his father about his wife

• his father will not believe him

• Nancy will find out about it

• his father will put him out of the house

• his father will never give him money

Godfrey decides to

• take things into his own hands

• do nothing, and let Chance work out his problem

• tell Nancy the truth

• find a way to keep Dunstan from coming home
