And Mary says:
'He's worn out. He's asleep beside the stove.
When I came up from Rowe's I found him here,
Huddled against the barn-door fast asleep. . . .
Through the discussion between Warren and Mary the reader discovers more and more about Silas. In some ways he is a good worker, but he usually disappears when he is most needed. He does not earn much money. He has his own ideas about the way farm work should be done. And he has his own ideas about himself. Instead of asking for help from his rich brother, Silas has come to Warren and Mary. She says:
He has come home to die,
You needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time.
'Home,' He mocked gently.
She answers:
Yes, what else but home?
'Home is the place where, when you go there,
They have to take you in.
