MaudieOlive felt very shaky. Her hands nervously touched her own body. She could feel the shape of her baby. Nate was worried, and he told Olive to leave. But Olive could not go. She just could not pull herself away. She kept looking at Maudie as the cow made her great noises and struggled to push out the calf. Nate saw that the cow was in trouble. He knew she needed help. He looked for a nail in the wall where he could hang his lamp. There was none. He was angry, but did not know what to do. He had to have light. Olive said he should have asked another farmer to help him. This made Nate even more angry. He ordered Olive out of the barn.
Suddenly, Olive saw that Nate was also afraid, fearful that the cow's struggle would be too much for him alone. And at that moment she decided that nothing could drive her from the barn. She demanded that Nate give her the lamp to hold so that he could have all the light he needed to help Maudie.
Nate said, "No," the birth would make her sick. "Please go," he said. Olive laughed and answered: "Nate, I think it is you who is going to be sick. Give me lamp!"
