Half are lusting for a bargain Half are aching as yet another farm changes hands.
Men come in their half-tons and feed trucks.
They buy log chains, buckets of bolts, and old harness as they contemplate what their bid might be on the harrows or the tractor. They love the boxes of doilies and fancy linen. They want kitchenware for their son's new apartment. Children run freely back and forth between the concession stand and the rail fence where they can climb, hang by their shins, and dare a new acquaintance to do better. Those who make a business of collecting act as casual and indifferent as possible.
