Final answer:
The provided excerpts do not include information about Connie noticing anything about Arnold's boots, hence an accurate answer cannot be provided based on the available context.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to what Connie notices about Arnold's boots in a particular literary work. Since the provided excerpts do not contain a direct answer to this question—and there is no mention of a character named Connie or Arnold within these excerpts—it seems we may be dealing with a question related to a context not given in the information supplied. Without the specific text where Connie examines Arnold's boots, it is impossible to provide an accurate and factual answer to this question.
