He began vaguely to resent the Little Woman's air of needing to protect him from himself. Casey Ryan, he told himself boastfully, had never needed protection from anybody. He had managed for a good many years to get along on his own hook. The Little Woman was all right, but she was making a mistake a big mistake if she thought she had to close-herd him to keep him out of trouble.
Dill was rather proud of his capacity for keeping a mental grasp on things. "Well, he's got a bunch uh men camped up the creek and the Pilgrim to close-herd 'em and I'm busy wondering what he's going to do with that ditch. Brown don't do things just to amuse himself; yuh can gamble he aims to make that ditch pack dollars into his jeans and if yuh can tell me how, I'll be a whole lot obliged."
You can't stop payment by telephone, because Pink is going to close-herd you right here until I ride to Prouty and get this cashed." Pinkey's jaw dropped. "By the long-horn toads of Texas! I wouldn't 'a' thought of that in a month!" As Wallie put his foot into the stirrup for the first time his face relaxed.
"Oh, about the second snowstorm," replied Priest. "After squaw winter's over, there's usually a month to six weeks of Indian summer. It might be as late as the first of December, but it's a good idea to loose-herd awhile; ride around them evening and morning, corral them and leave the gates open, teach them to seek a dry, cosy bed, at least a month before putting the cattle under close-herd.

"Hereafter we'll give them all the range they need and only put them under close-herd at night. There may be squally weather yet, but little danger of a general storm. After this thaw, farmers on the Solomon will begin their spring ploughing."
In short, an attack upon himself and upon Mormonism by the Gentiles would tighten the hold of President Smith, close-herd the Mormons, and leave them ready politically to be driven hither and yon as seemed most profitable for Church purposes.
The man he had thrashed looked as if he would like to kill him. "We'll close-herd both stories, then." "Good enough! Don't let me keep you any longer, if you're in a hurry. Now we've had our little talk, I'm satisfied." But Dixon was not satisfied. He was stiff and sore physically, but mentally he was worse. He had played a poor part, and must still do so.
He set a man to close-herd there; he sent other men to bring in still other straying stock; he himself judged every single head, cutting out those he deemed unfit; finally he saw the growing herd driven down into the choicest of his meadow grazing land to fatten. All of this required days.
