"I'm sorry, Dave," she said, but Dave answered nothing but a sullen "howdye" and did not put out a hand he only stared at her in sulky bewilderment, and June went back to listen to the torrent of the old woman's plaints until Bub came in.

"I will summon the maidens to the wells," said Ruth. "'Twill not avail us.
