we dispersed out into the world, each spring, when father felt we were old enough. i suppose he did not want sons coddled by their mother all their life — or overthrowing him, maybe. only he realized now that he had no worries of such with his own son. the opposite truthfully. he wished to keep jacksnipe close forever! leo too!
