So he took me to the drug store and got somethin' , and by and by I was better and so we drove home to the farm . It was only Tuesday , and the days just dragged by . It seemed Saturday was a year off , when I was to see Mitch . I was out in the front yard about nine o'clock and all the rest was in the house . My uncle came along and began to sharpen a scythe on the grinder and I was turnin ' it for him . I was teasin ' him to go to the river and fish and camp out over night . He said it was too hot , and besides we needed another man , and Willie Wallace was gone , and he could n't get Bud Entrekin to go until he 'd hauled some corn .
