The young cowboy finally came riding up along the drive covered in dust and mud and looking much the worse for wear.
"What in th'hell happened to you, boy?" The grizzled old cowhand looked at him with apparent disgust, then turned and spit.
The young man looked down, obviously embarassed. "Ma' horse threw me."
The old man laughed, his rough face softening a bit and spat.
"Well," he said, "least yo'r back in the saddle, but what took you so damn long?"
He grinned sheepishly. "Gettin' back in the saddle's easy... catchin' ma' horse? well, that's another matter."
