"You worked at the old Hawley logging camp?"
"Yep. Chore boy. Got up at four every mornin' to feed and curry the
horses so they'd be ready to go into the woods. You wouldn't think
fifteen men, or fourteen men and a boy, ate and slept in that old house,
would you?"
"It's big enough."
"By gosh! Seems like a person gets born, takes six breaths and gets old.
That old house is still good, though. Those boards are really seasoned
and I bet they last another hundred years."
