noon
Dorian 's busy season also began . As soon as the roads were passible , Dorian drove up to his dry-farm . On one of these first trips he fell in with a company of his neighboring dry-farmers , and they traveled together . While they were stopping for noon at a small hotel in the canyon , a rain storm came up , which delayed them . They were not impatient , however , as the moisture was welcome ; so the farmers rested easily , letting their horses eat a little longer than usual . The conversation was such which should be expected of Bishop 's counselors , president of Elders ' quorums , and class leaders in the Mutual , which these men were . On this occasion some of the always-present moral problems were discussed .
