Country was much stiller than town was ... the sounds could not have been more distinct if they had been dropped down a deep well. From the blacksmith shop ... came a TANG-TANG. A bee droomed lazily. Annie sang in her kitchen ... the halter shanks, made impatient, little clinking sounds. TANG-TANG-TING-TANG TANG went Ab's hammer on the anvil.

The night wind had two voices; one that keened along the pulsing wires, the prairie one that throated long and deep.
Here and there a farm dog barked.
