Bill Driscoll is one of the kidnappers in this story, a story I frequently used as a warning to my children when they were young about what would happen if they were kidnapped. The narrator is Sam, the other kidnapper. As we read the story, it appears that Sam is in charge of things, and that Bill is the weaker of the partners. But we can also see that while these men might be capable of trying to commit crimes, they are severely lacking in the hardheartedness or intelligence necessary to carry through with a kidnapping. Red Chief is a wonderful character and reminds me of Dennis the Menace and the boy in Home Alone.
