Grandpa moaned and moved his head. “He’s coming around,” Papa said.
I asked Papa if we could get him back to the gully where Old Dan was.
I had noticed there was very little wind there and we could build a fire.
“That’s the very place,” he said. “We’ll build a good fire and one of us can go for help.”
Papa and the judge made a seat by catching each other’s wrists. They eased Grandpa between them.
By the time we reached the washout, Grandpa was fully conscious again, and was mumbling and grumbling.
He couldn’t see why they had to carry him like a baby. After easing him over the bank and down into the gully, we built a large fire.
Papa took his knife and cut the boot from Grandpa’s swollen foot. Grandpa grunted and groaned from the pain.
I felt sorry for him but there was nothing I could do but look on. Papa examined the foot.
Shaking his head, he said, “Boy, that’s a bad one. It’s either broken or badly sprained. I’ll go for some help.”
Grandpa said, “Now wait just a minute. I’m not going to let you go out in that blizzard by yourself.
What if something happens to you? No one would know.” “What time is it?” he asked.
