In "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" by Walter Dean Myers, Lemon Brown is a homeless man who used to be a blues singer. Which dialogue from the story best develops his character?

"Lemon Brown," the old man said, pulling back his shoulders as he did so, "they used to call me Sweet Lemon Brown."

"Used to travel all over Mississippi and as far as Monroe, Louisiana, and east on over to Macon, Georgia. You mean you ain't never heard of Sweet Lemon Brown?"

"Hard times always after a poor man. One day I got tired, sat down to rest a spell and felt a tap on my shoulder. Hard times caught up with me."

"Hey! Rag man!" A voice called. "We know you in here. What you got up under them rags? You got any money?"
