Bud, Not Buddy

Without knowing an exact chapter, I cannot be sure of the answer to your question. Bud and Herman have two altercations in regard to snooping;

The door wasn't even done shaking from being slammed so hard when it jumped open again. Herman E. Calloway pointed a finger at me and said, "And you better not do any snooping around this room or anywhere else in this house, I know where every single thing belongs and I can tell right away when something's missing. I've got little secret bells all over everything and when something's stolen the bell goes off and only I can hear it, so watch your step."

Herman E. Calloway said, "I told you about this boy from the word go. He's been snooping through things in the house that he's got no business being in, he stole these."

Well i really don't know but all i would say is read back in the book and give text evedince.
