Question

6.7. Why did Maggie push Lucy in the cow-trodden mud?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When Maggie comes along, he tells her to get away. This is too much for Maggie, and she takes out her resentment by pushing "poor little pink-and-white Lucy into the cow-trodden mud." Tom decides that "justice clearly demanded that Maggie should be visited with the utmost punishment," and he goes to tell on her.
