Kenny

One of the "three boys with fishing poles" Quentin first encounters on the bridge where he hides the flat irons (117) is named Kenny (122). This may be the one that the narrative consistently refers to as "the first boy" (122). He wears a "broken hat" (123) and seems to hold himself a bit apart from the other two boys. Quentin tries talking with him after they leave him, but "he paid me no attention" (123). He seems to have rejoined his friends by the time Quentin sees them again, swimming in the river. He is also probably one of the three boys who are present when Quentin is arrested by Anse and brought before the Squire.
