[The Shepherd of the Hills by Harold Bell Wright]@TWC D-Link bookThe Shepherd of the Hills CHAPTER VI 15/18
There's them that swears they've seen her 'round the old cabin where they used to meet when he painted her picture, the big one, you know.
Just before I bought the ranch, it was first; and that's why we can't get no one to stay with the sheep. "I don't know, Mr.Howitt; I don't know.
I've thought a heap about it, I ain't never seen it myself, and it 'pears to me that if she COULD come back at all, she'd sure come to her old Daddy.
Then again I figure it that bein' took the way she was, part of her dead, so to speak, from the time she got that letter, and her mind so set on his comin' back, that maybe somehow--you see--that maybe she is sort a waitin' for him there.
Many's the time I have prayed all night that God would let me meet him again just once, or that proud father of his'n, just once, sir; I'd glad go to Hell if I could only meet them first.
