He heard sounds of a scuffle on the lawn, and screams from inside. At first the little farm-hand could not make up his mind what to do, but finally he ran to the house; and there in the front room he saw the beautiful lady, with her wet hair streaming down her back, and the tears streaming down her face, sunk on her knees, before the man who had hailed Jimmie from the automobile.
Lee not long afterwards spoke to Ratcliffe of her regret at Gore's disappointment and hinted at his disgust. Ratcliffe replied that he had done what he could for Gore, and had introduced him to the President, who, after seeing him, had sworn his usual granitic oath that he would sooner send his nigger farm-hand Jake to Spain than that man-milliner.
The grebes glided about with new feather-collars around the neck; and the jack-snipes were gathering straws for their nests. The farm-hand got into a scow, laid Jarro in the bottom of the boat, and began to pole himself out on the lake.
In the parsonage lies a farm-hand with a broken jaw. Drink and quarrel and fight it is ever the same. The priest has warned them often enough. He has called the brandy-distiller a poison-brewer, and a few days ago the distiller came to the parsonage, armed with a heavy stick. He poured out his complaints. The priest was spoiling his honest business. What was he to do?

Just as she saw her future husband in his possibilities as a farm-hand, in his relations to Ansdore, so she could not help seeing every farm-hand in his possibilities as a husband, in his relations to herself. Martin Trevor would have been surprised had he known himself the object of so much attention. His attitude towards Joanna was one of indifference based on dislike her behaviour towards Mr.
Tad petted and fondled the wheezy old creature, who nosed him appreciatively. "How old is Jinny?" he asked. "Going on twelve," answered the farm-hand laconically. Tad opened the mare's mouth, which he studied critically. "Humph!" he grunted, flashing a glance of disapproval at the farm-hand. "What's that, younker? I said as she was going on twelve."
He had been on the lookout for just such a tragedy, for there had recently been a sheep-killing raid on several farms in that neighborhood, and for several nights he had had a lantern hung out on the edge of the woods to scare the dogs away; but a drunken farm-hand had neglected his duty that Christmas Eve. "Yassuh, an' dey's jus' sebenteen dead sheep out dar," said a negro.
First he grabbed the machine of the farm-hand, disentangled it and flung it furiously out upon the road with a clatter which its owner fortunately did not hear. Then he freed Höflinger from his own wheel, which was still between his knees, and helped him to his feet. Finally he reached Spiele; she was a bit pale, but unhurt. When he saw her on her feet once more, he began to upbraid Höflinger.
