Lennie and George first went to a ranch in Weed, California, where they had to flee due to an incident involving Lennie and a girl's dress.
In the incident in Weed from John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men," Lennie accidentally scares a young woman by grabbing her dress because he likes soft things. This leads to a misunderstanding and the woman accusing him of trying to assault her. Lennie and George have to flee from Weed to avoid trouble.
George S. Weed was born in 1862.
George S. Weed died in 1919.
George tells Slim that Lennie inadvertently scared a girl in Weed by grabbing her dress, leading to a misunderstanding that got them in trouble. He explains that Lennie didn't mean any harm but often doesn't realize his own strength, causing unintentional trouble. Slim listens sympathetically and understands their situation.
There are a few reasons George and Lennie may have left Weed. One possibility is that Lennie's inappropriate behavior with the girl could have caused trouble and forced them to leave in order to avoid any repercussions. Another reason could be that they felt unwelcome or unsafe due to the negative attention their incident attracted.
