`Well,' said Mary, `it was James who got the steers and the sheep.'
Well, one word led to another, and we said things we didn't mean --
but couldn't forget in a hurry. I remember I said something about Mary
always dragging me back just when I was getting my head above water
and struggling to make a home for her and the children; and that hurt her,
and she spoke of the `homes' she'd had since she was married.
It was about the worst quarrel we had. When she began to cry
I got my hat and went out and walked up and down by the creek.
