To think we were finished for ever with the raking and carting of hay finished tramping up and down beside Dad, with the plough-reins in our hands, flies in our eyes and burr in our feet finished being the target for Dad's blasphemy when the plough or the horses or the harness went wrong was delightful! And the adventure and excitement which this new industry promised operated strongly upon us.
Sometimes it happened that he had to throw down the plough-reins for half-an-hour or so to run round the wheat-paddock after a horse or an old cow; then, if he found Dave, or Sal, or any of us, sitting inside playing the concertina when he came to get a drink, he would nearly go mad. "Can't y' find anything better t' do than everlastingly playing at that damn thing?" he would shout.
