Explanation:
We know that Roger has no one at home at eleven o’clock at night and his family likely does not have much money.
The incident with Roger and Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones happens pretty late at night for a boy to be outside on the streets. Roger is your typical teenager. He wants something he can’t get, so he finds a way to get it. When he tries to steal Mrs. Jones’s purse, she immediately can tell from looking at him that he’s not dangerous and he needs someone to look out for him.
Mrs. Jones can tell these things because, for one thing, Roger puts up very little fight. He is clearly not used to the thug life. Second of all, his face is dirty. When she sees this, she takes pity on him. She knows that no one cares or knows enough to tell him to wash it.
“Um-hum! And your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face for you. Ain’t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?”
