Once he had accosted Zoe as she was coming from Reverdy's to join me at the courthouse preparatory to starting home.
Reverdy thought that the fellow was eaten up with insane jealousy and had brought himself to the belief that I had taken Zoe from him, if he could be said ever to have had a right to her.
It is an April day and I have come into town and am rushing from place to place attending to many things.

Reverdy has met me at the bank to tell me of another opportunity to buy a team of horses and some oxen; for we use the latter mostly to draw the plows that turn up the heavy sod of the prairie.

Reverdy has just told me of Lamborn's threat to come to my farm and take Zoe: that when a girl was once his she was always his.

He had said these things at the barber shop.

Something came over me.
