While they were working in Weed, Lennie saw a girl wearing a pretty red dress. Focused on the dress's beauty, he reached out to touch it, and the girl screamed. Lennie panicked, and holding on even tighter, would not let go. George had to "(sock) him over the head with a fence picket to make him let go" before he would release the dress. The girls eventually reported the incident as an attempted rape, and "the guys in Weed start(ed) a party out to lynch Lennie". George took Lennie to hide in an irrigation ditch, and when darkness fell, they fled the vicinity.
Lennie did not actually hurt the girl, but, being big and strong, he scared her badly. As Slim observed, "(Lennie) ain't mean", and George agreed, explaining, "(Lennie) jus' wanted to touch that red dress like he wants to pet them pups all the time".
