“Well--aw, there comes that durn colt, bringing up the drag. Say Cash, that colt's just about all in. Cora's nothing but a bag of bones, too. They'll never winter--not on this range, they won't.” Cash got up and went to the doorway, looking out over Bud's shoulder at the spiritless donkeys trailing in to water.
