We turned to go, but then Miz Thomas said, "That Mitchell, he done somethin'? He in trouble?"

"We just want to talk to him, Edna," Hammond assured her. Still, though, as we rode away, I saw Miz Thomas frown, and young as I was, I knew she was worried. She was worried because my brothers had come. My brothers had come asking about Mitchell, and my brothers were white.

Based on the novel's historical context, what causes Miz Thomas to frown?

1). She believes that Hammond really does just want to ask about Mitchell.

2). She is sure that Mitchell has done something wrong and she will need to discipline him.

3). She knows that white boys would not normally be looking for her son.
