'You wouldn' tell' 'Tone of confession'

Due to all these worries, getoge needs someone to speak to, and that person is slim. '..' He trusts slim straight away, unlike the other carachers, and this may be because of slims god like personallity. Steinbeck says george has the '..' So slim acts at the priest.
