"The ripest spray of goldenrod is not so highly coloured as the burnished gold on the breast of the oriole that rocks on it."
I've always thought that the book should be renamed - George and Lennie - Of Jobs and Men Or - The Life of George and Lennie Very simple titles, haha :P
1.) A.) Algernon eavesdrops on Jack while he's conversing with Gwendolyn. 2.) D.) I believe is the correct answer. Algernon made up the invalid Bunbury in order to travel into the country whenever he pleased.
