George tells Slim that Lennie inadvertently scared a girl in Weed by grabbing her dress, leading to a misunderstanding that got them in trouble. He explains that Lennie didn't mean any harm but often doesn't realize his own strength, causing unintentional trouble. Slim listens sympathetically and understands their situation.
Lennie loves to pet soft things, such as mice and in this case a dress. He sees a girl with a red dress and because he likes it he reaches out to feel the dress. However, the girl becomes distressed and begins to scream. This in turn distresses Lennie and he "gets all mixed up" and he holds on because that is all that he can think to do. But the girl continues screaming and by this time Lennie is extremely scared so all he thinks to do is hold on. He is extremely strong and when George comes after hearing the girl from a distance he has to hit him over the head with a picket fence to make him let go. Upon Lennie letting go, the girl reports Lennie and says that she was raped. So people in Weed start a party to kill Lennie. Lennie didn't actually hurt the girl but he did scare her.
George believes that Lennie's attack on the girl in Weed was unintentional and caused by his lack of understanding of his own strength. He recognizes that Lennie doesn't possess the mental capacity to control his actions in moments of panic and fear, and feels regretful that he couldn't prevent the incident from happening. Overall, George blames the situation on Lennie's innocence and disability rather than any malicious intent on Lennie's part.
