Question
Picking up Wilson like a doll, Tom carried him into the office, set him down in a
chair, and came back. 'If somebody'll come here and sit with him,' he snapped
authoritatively. He watched while the two men standing closest glanced at each
other and went unwillingly into the room. Then Tom shut the door on them and came
down the single step, his eyes avoiding the table. As he passed close to me he
whispered: 'Let's get out."

a) He cares for George.
b) He wants to protect Myrtle's memory.
c) He prioritizes his reputation.
