Wheeler reluctantly took up her workbasket, and the boys talked with their old, easy friendliness. When Ernest left, Claude walked as far as the Yoeders' place with him, and came back across the snow-drifted fields, under the frosty brilliance of the winter stars.

The merchants in the little towns about the county missed him if he didn't drop in once a week or so.
