Which quote from the novel describes the characters Darry best?

It is difficult for Darry, in his early 20's, to take on the role of guardian and parent but he does it because he loves his family. Here you can see the concern that Darry has about Ponyboy staying out late:

“I reckon it never occurred to you that your brothers might be worrying their heads off and afraid to call the police because something like that could get you two thrown in a boy's home so quick it'd make your head spin.”
