That ends the day.
Cap Saunders.
I think I'll work a while.
(Starts back)
Harvey Anderson.
The sun's gone down.
Cap Saunders.
I haven't heard the whistle of the mill.
Harvey Anderson.
Nor like to.
Cap Saunders.
Ah! I keep forgetting that.
When a man's heard her blow for years and years
He can't be always thinking that she's stopped.
I wonder how the strike is getting on.
