Joe Purvis was thinking back many years.
First he thought of the time he had ridden to Gavin and told him how his cattle were being rustled at the far end of the valley.
He remembered Gavin's smirk, his own cringing feeling, his impotence.
Then he thought of a time when Clayton's horse had fallen lame in the Gap.
His wife had said to him: `` Nellie is in love with Clayton Roy.
He wouldn't even dance with her at Gavin's party.
He treats her like she was dirt.
And you stand by like a fool and let him do it ''
