"This was fascinating to Henry... He became absorbed beyond mere happiness." (p.56)
Henry is curiosity, order, innocence and youth. He is protected by memories of parents, authority and the law. When Roger threw rocks at Henry he missed purposefully, not actually wanting to hurt the boy because even though he was jealous of Henry's innocence and the way he saw the world Roger was afraid of hurting him. Henry is a reminder that even within chaos there is always some light that remains unhindered.
