A tiny grave in that very cemetery accounted for some of them; and some new ones had come during the recent illness, now happily over, of her little son.

The man owned the property, and the woman managed it. The man took credit for the management, and the woman praised his cleverness. The man roared like a bull when a splinter was in his finger, and the woman muffled the moans of childbirth, lest she disturb him. Men were rough of speech and often drunk.
