Read the following excerpt from O. Henry’s short story “A Retrieved Reformation.” Which inference is supported by the excerpt? Jimmy Valentine put on his coat, and walked outside the railings towards the front door. As he went he thought he heard a far-away voice that he once knew call "Ralph!" But he never hesitated.

"Hello, Ben!" said Jimmy, still with his strange smile. "Got around at last, have you? Well, let's go. I don't know that it makes much difference, now."

B.

C.
Jimmy Valentine believes that Ben Price is going to arrest him.
