For all he cared, Cash could go on forever cooking his own meals and living on his own side of the shack.

Bud certainly would not interrupt him in acting the fool, and if Cash wanted to keep it up till spring, Cash was perfectly welcome to do so.

It just showed how ornery a man could be when he was let to go.

So far as he was concerned, he would just as soon as not have that dead line painted down the middle of the cabin floor.
Nor did its presence there trouble him in the least.

Just this morning, however, the fact of Cash's stubbornness in keeping to his own side of the line irritated Bud.
