About four o'clock
During the afternoon a pair of men drove two lines of waist-high stakes to mark the survey of the short section of ground yet untouched , doing this under Carrigan 's supervision . In case snow came , he told Lee , he wanted something he could see . `` Nine hundred yards of unbuilt ditch will be lying buried , '' he added , `` and I do n't propose to paw up the whole mesa finding this section . '' About four o'clock Bryant rejoined him . `` Still lovely , '' said Pat with a grin . `` I 've just set some plows tearing up the scalp on another two hundred yards . If this storm will just hang off for three or four days longer , it can come and welcome .
