Answer 1

that Dexter was the----best caddy in the club, and wouldn't he decide not to quit if Mr. Jones made it worth his while, because every other caddy in the club lost one ball a hole for him-- regularly----

“You're not more than fourteen. Why the devil did you decide just this morning that you wanted to quit? You promised that next week you'd go over to the State tournament with me." "The best----caddy I ever saw," shouted Mr. Mortimer Jones over a drink that afternoon. "Never lost a ball! Willing! Intelligent! Quiet! Honest! Grateful!"

"No, sir," said Dexter decisively, "I don't want to caddy anymore." Then, after a pause: "I'm too old."

“Dexter handed in his "A Class" badge, collected what money was due him from the caddy master, and walked home to Black Bear Village.”

What does Mr. Jones thinks of Dex caddying skills? what does Jones beg of Dex? What's Dex reaction, and the first reason whyhe's quitting?
