So when he even rolled and lit a cigarette, eyeing me closely during the operation, I pretended to take no notice, but spoke to her quietly, in a voice which would not carry across the room. "Don't mind him," I whispered. "He's only a rough-neck trying to bully a bit.
I'll show 'em!" now plaintively beseeching, "I don't suppose I am helping Frazer, but it makes me so darn sore when nobody stands up for him and he teaches stuff they need so much here. Gee! I'm coming to think this is a pretty rough-neck college. He's the first teacher I ever got anything out of and Oh, hang it! what 'd I have to get mixed up in all this for, when I was getting along so good?

The orchestra was composed of three Mexicans hombres with mandolins and a guitar, and an Irish rough-neck who brought from the piano a beauty of melody that was like a memory of the Sod. The four men produced dance music that New York might have envied. Several Cabillo couples attended the dance. Oscar Ames and Jane and one or two other ranchers and their wives were there.
