“Come, Wanna,” said Lucy.
Wanna looked quickly at Jack, who threw his old magazine aside in disgust. Wanna went slowly to her mother, who motioned for her to go into the house. Jack turned and scowled at Lucy, his eyes snapping with anger.

“Big Medicine say no,” said Lucy calmly. “You know that.”
“Oh, all right!” disgustedly. “I’m about through with this place.”
“You all through,” said Lucy stolidly.

“You hitch up team,” she said. “You take Jack Hill to town.”
“All right,” nodded Ike. “All well, now, eh?”
