While the men eagerly lent shoulders and muscles to the task expected of them, the three principals in this group made personal notes of each other, albeit not a word was said. "Ah never did see such ridiculous styles as this!" thought Sam Brewster, looking the girls over from top to toe. "This rough man Mr. Brewster! Why, he's a common farmer!" thought Barbara, disdainfully.
Every day he had to report bright and early to a burly Irish Corporal and be ordered about, as if he had been a slave, cursed at, threatened and forced to work until his hands were blistered and his muscles sore. The bitterest part of it all was that he had to trudge past both Roussillon place and the Bourcier cabin with the eyes of Alice and Adrienne upon him.
