As the girls started on their chores, we heard the crack of a rifle, first once and then a moment later again. Half-an-hour later, Robert appeared at the door the barn but to skinned and cleaned rabbits. He set them on the table, and then called up to the loft where the girls were working "your meat is sitting on the table. You should get it in the pot soon the floor the flies get to it" he said "it should work just fine in your hash, and there's probably enough to make stew for dinner. I'll be out in the field planting corn, get me when lunch is ready." Robert had been doing a good deal more hunting lately to supplement their meat supply, since grain was running short, and he had to sell some of the cattle to buy seed so that he could replant crops.
The sun was hot, and with the still saturated ground, the temperatures over the fields were stifling, and the air like a steam bath. Robert soon had his shirt off, and was working only in his shorts, his toned body taking a healthy tan as well. He had worried that first day, that Opel would not be willing or able to do what the farm required, much less be a fit wife, but what he has shown him the last 24 hours, made those worries disappear. He knew that the farm would be a good teacher, and Opel has shown herself a willing student. He couldn't ask anymore of her. Knowing that she was there to support him at the end of the day, and was caring for Jade, let him work all the harder, and accomplish more.
