It was always Dannie who plowed on, while Jimmy rode to town for the missing bolt or buckle, and he generally rolled from his horse into a fence corner, and slept the remainder of the day on his return.
The work and heat were beginning to tire him, and his trips to Casey's had been much less frequent than he desired.

He grew to feel that between them Dannie and Mary were driving him, and a desire to balk at slight cause, gathered in his breast.

He deliberately tied his team in a fence corner, lay down, and fell asleep.

The clanging of the supper bell aroused him.

He opened his eyes, and as he rose, found that Dannie had been to the barn, and brought a horse blanket to cover him.
