Silas Maury.

It's Egerton's big reception.

Harvey Anderson.

(To Cap Saunders)

Explains the lights.
They're getting things in shape.

Silas Maury.

Yes.

(He and Anderson walk a little way left and look back toward the mansion)

Bill Patten.

When the boys
First talked of strikin' when they made the cut
I said, 'Don't do it. Egerton's a man—
You'd better fight the Devil than fight him.
He'll show no mercy on you if you cross him.'
I guess they know by now that Bill was right.
Sam Williams though he thinks he knows. 'Hang on.'
All right, hang on; but you will see what comes.
It's hell. I'd rather die out on some rock.

Silas Maury.

There ain't no room for poor men in this world.
I don't know what God ever made us for.

(He and Anderson return to the fire)

Bill Patten.

The man that's got no home's a lucky man.

Silas Maury.

I said to Willie, 'I'm glad mother's dead.'

(A pause)

Willie Maury.

Think she can see us, pa?

Silas Maury.

I don't think so.

Bill Patten.

She's better off.

Silas Maury.

That's true. I hope she can't.
She died a-thinkin' Willie would be rich
Some day, if they ever found the mine.

Bill Patten.

(Bitterly)
