Excerpt: ...chewing gum together as if they wove a fabric to bind their lives in adhesive amity to the end. Lambert had a feeling of security for his line of fence, also, as he rode home on the evening of his adventurous day. He had left a note on the pieced wire reminding Grace Kerr of his Pg 199 request that she ease her spite by unhooking it there instead of cutting it in a new place. He also added the information that he would be there on a certain date to see how well she carried out his wish. He wondered whether she would read his hope that she would be there at the same hour, or whether she might be afraid to risk Vesta Philbrook's fury again. There was an eagerness in him for the hastening of the intervening time, a joyous lightness which tuned him to such harmony with the world that he sang as he rode.

He had made liberal application of perfume to his handkerchief and mustache, and of barber's pomatum to his hair. He had fixed his hat on carefully, for the protection of the cowlick that came down over his left eyebrow, and he could not be stirred beyond a trot all the way to Glendora for fear of damage that might result. "I had a run-in with that feller the other night," he said. "What feller do you mean?" "Jedlick, dern him." "You did? I didn't notice any of your ears bit off." "No, we didn't come to licks. He tried to horn in while me and Alta was out on the porch." "What did you do?" "I didn't have a show to...
