Wingle smiled. "Pants? Think this here's a Jew clothin'-store?" "Nope. But if she was a horsepital now " "Been visitin'?" "Uhuh. I jest run over to see some friends of mine in a sheep-camp." "Did, eh? And mebby you can tell me what you run over?" "'Most everything out there," said Sundown, pointing to the mesa.
"That's what I'm wonderin', lady. And say, would you be so kind as to tell me which way is north?" Despite her solicitude for the recumbent Sundown, Eleanor Loring laughed. "You are in one of the sheep-camps. I'm Eleanor Loring." "Sheep-camp? Gee Gosh! Did you stop me?" "Yes. I was just riding into camp when you er arrived.

He shared Pedro's blankets, but slept little. The sheep milled and bawled most of the night.
