"Scotty" Phillips, senator, cattleman and business man, was one of the Dakotas' most influential citizens. A heavyset man he was, with an unconscious dignity and a strong, kindly face; a squaw man his wife was a full-blooded Indian who had retained many of her tribal habits.
A sister and a brother, Honora had already learned from Susan, had died since she had crossed the ocean with them. Robert and Joshua, Junior, remained. Both were heavyset, with rather stern faces, both had close-cropped, tan-coloured mustaches and wide jaws, with blue eyes like Susan's.

Two heavyset men wearing shorts, T-shirts, and baseball caps were easing a boulder from the truck bed onto an impromptu ramp of two-by-sixes. A woman with trim graying hair and tanned cheeks watched. The planks sagged ominously. "She hold?" "Plenty strong." "Damn stuck. Excuse me, Mrs. Nakano." "I've heard worse," she said. Oliver approached and braced one shoulder against the rock.

"Aieee! Swell, Verdi."
Attractive women crowded around guys who wore hammer hooks and Stanley tapes like jewelry on their belts, totems of a better way. "Feels good to stand up," he said to the guy next to him. "This is a happening place." "You just get here?" "Yep. Any work around?" "What kind of work?" "Wash dishes, construction, paint houses . . . " "Hey Parker, you need anybody?" A heavyset fellow came over.
