IF Washington had not lost a shoe on the way home from church, and if / Joyce had not been seized with a violent headache that sent her to bed / with a bandage over her eyes, the day would have ended far differently / for Lloyd.
The afternoon went by quickly, for, lulled by the drowsy hum of the / bees, she had fallen asleep in the hammock under the umbrella-tree, and / slept a long time. Then supper was earlier than usual, as Jack wanted / his before starting to the ranch. Chris, the Mexican, was taking a / holiday, and had offered Jack a quarter to do the milking for him that / evening. Holland strolled down the road with him, since the lost / horseshoe prevented him taking the ride he had expected to enjoy.
