:14:15
What's the matter, Pa?
:14:22
Your ma's gone down
to the burying ground, son.
:14:26
Pa, a couple of old buck deer were
in our burying grounds today.
:14:31
I seen their tracks.
:14:33
Ora's and David's markers
were knocked down.
:14:36
- Well, your ma wouldn't like that.
- I was obliged to right them.
:14:41
One marker had something
written on it...
:14:44
...but it's getting kind of dim.
I can't make it out.
:14:47
That's Ezra Jr.
He never seen the light of day.
:14:51
He died when he was born?
:14:54
That's right, son.
:14:56
- Ma never talks about them, does she?
- No.
:15:02
Are they part of Ma's raring, Pa?
:15:06
- You figured that out all by yourself?
- I was just wondering.
:15:10
I'm proud you're looking
for the reason of things.
:15:14
Figuring out what makes people rare
when they don't mean it.
:15:18
- Your ma's a wonderful woman, Jody.
- Yes, Pa.
:15:22
When we come here, years ago,
she was pretty...
:15:25
...and full of the fun of life.
:15:28
This place was a wilderness.
Your ma thought it were beautiful.
:15:32
She pitched right in
and worked as hard as I did.
:15:36
We made it a kind of game,
clearing this place we got.
:15:40
The two of us together out here
in the wilderness.
:15:43
A man couldn't have had a better wife.
:15:47
Then when we lost the children,
one after the other.
:15:53
It ain't easy for a woman to have
her young'uns taken away from her.
:15:59
It does something to her. Makes
something inside her close up tight...
