When Harley brought home a crate full of foodstuff, plus a new hat for Anna Mae, he expected her to be excited. But she knew he didn't have the money to pay for such things, and then he told her he was going to help build a castle in Kansas of all places. The man had lost his mind and she told him so. Harley didn't take it well. He loved his wife, but that didn't give her the right to question his decisions. fter all, he was the head of his household and he had to do something. The drought had wiped out their crops,and if he didn't earn money they would lose the farm. This government job was a blessing, but Anna Mae couldn't seem to see it that way.
