Live stock, cattle, sheep and hogs, as well as goats, horses and mules, are profitable to every farmer.
And the humble Ruth is there, too, with her sweet patient face, and her timid look fixed on the generous Boaz who allowed her to pick the gleanings of his golden corn.

She hath not the judgment to endure it all, being yet scarce more than a child and with leanings rather toward Church than State, being over-much under the influence of the Lady Fiorenza over-much."
