6. Why does Mr. Logan insist on taking Stacey with him to Vicksburg, and why does Mrs. Logan object?

Papa notes that Stacey will soon be thirteen, and that he can't take him to the railroad, but he can take him on his rounds in town. He says, "And I want him to know about business...... how to take care of it, how to take care og things when I ain't around." He also says, "..... he's near a man. he's gotta know a man's things. He gootta know how to handle himself."

Mama objects that Stacey is just a boy.
