He took the new broom in his hand and waited. (6.67-6.68)
Henry and Jessie both admit they're frightened, but Henry is the one who picks up a weapon. Why is it his responsibility to be the family's protector?

Jessie and Henry both like putting things in order. But where Henry orders "manly" things like the contents of a garage, Jessie organizes things like dishes and food.
