Jase began to complain of having "all-gone" feelings during the winter after Billy Louise camehome and took up the whole burden of the Wolverine ranch. He complained to Billy Louise, whenshe rode over one clear, sunny day in January; he said that he was getting old-which was perfectlytrue-and that he was not as able-bodied as he might be, and didn't expect to last much longer. BillyLouise spoke of it to Marthy, and Marthy snorted."He's able-bodied enough at mealtimes, I notice," she retorted. "I've heard that tune ever ...

Jase began to complain of having "all-gone" feelings during the winter after Billy Louise camehome and took up the whole burden of the Wolverine ranch. He complained to Billy Louise, whenshe rode over one clear, sunny day in January; he said that he was getting old-which was perfectlytrue-and that he was not as able-bodied as he might be, and didn't expect to last much longer. BillyLouise spoke of it to Marthy, and Marthy snorted."He's able-bodied enough at mealtimes, I notice," she retorted. "I've heard that tune ever since Iknowed him; he can't fool me!""Not about the all-goneness, have you?" Billy Louise was preparing to wipe the dishes forMarthy. "I know he always had 'cricks' in different parts of his anatomy, but I never heard about hisfeeling all-gone, before. That sounds mysterious, don't you think?""No; and he never had nothin' the matter with his anatomy, neither; his anatomy's just as soundas mine. Jase was born lazy, is all ails him.""But, Marthy, haven't you noticed he doesn't look as well as he used to? He has a sort of graylook, don't you think? And his eyes are so puffy underneath, lately.""No, I ain't noticed nothing wrong with him that ain't always been wrong." Marthy spokegrudgingly, as if she resented even the possibility of Jase's having a real ailment. "He's feelin' hisyears, mebby. But he ain't no call to; Jase ain't but three years older 'n I be, and I ain't but fifty-ninelast birthday. And I've worked and slaved here in this Cove fer twenty-seven years, now; what it isI've made it. Jase ain't ever done a hand's turn that he wasn't obliged to do. I've chopped wood, andI've built corrals and dug ditches, and Jase has puttered around and whined that he wasn't ablebodied enough to do no heavy lifting. That there orchard out there I planted and packed water inbuckets to it till I got the ditch through. Them corrals down next the river I built. I dug the postholes, and Jase set the posts in and held 'em steady while I tamped the dirt! In winter I've hauled hayand fed the cattle; and Jase, he packed a bucket uh slop, mebby, to the pigs! If he ain't as able-bodiedas I be, it's because he ain't done nothing to git strong on. He can't come around me now with thatall-gone feeling uh his; I know Jase Meilke like a book."
