He is driving the team down the road to Tehuacana. it is a fine spring day. For some reason there are large sand dunes on each side of the road. Here and there the road detours around a ravine-like excavation. Lafe worries about getting through. He knows his father is sitting behind him, though he doesn't look around. He gets more and more worried about getting through. The wagon is slowly sinking in the sand. He feels his father's hand on his shoulder, His father doesn't speak but Lafe knows his father is telling his it's all right, it'll be all right. Lafe turns, cries, "Daddy!" wanting to embrace him. There is no one there.
