Which excerpt of dialogue from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” best reveals the shift that occurs in the relationship between Lemon Brown and Greg? “What you doing here?” The figure shuffled forward again, and Greg took a small step backward.
“You ain’t one of them bad boys looking for my treasure, is you?” Lemon Brown cocked his head to one side and squinted one eye.
“You guess so?” Lemon Brown’s voice rose an octave as he started to put his treasure back into the plastic. “Well, you got to guess ’cause you sure don’t know nothing.”
“You O. K. for a youngster,” the old man said as he tied the strings around his leg, “better than those scalawags what come here looking for my treasure. That’s for sure.”
