And got it up. And then I got the blacksmith, McCuish, to get me a handle, and put a rope on it and a bucket. And all she had to do was to roll the bucket up full of water--three steps, she was in the porch. I did that for her. Then I went on the truck. That next day after Dominion Day. Haven't been home since. That was my leaving. I was home, sure, but wasn't home to stay home, for a week or two weeks or a month, or nothing.
