Eventually, Roslyn and Gay move into Guidos halffinished house and start to work on it. One day after breakfast, Gay tells Roslyn how he wishes he were more of a father to his own children, whom he has not seen for some years. Later that afternoon, Roslyn and Gay argue when Gay states his intention to find and kill the rabbits which have been eating the vegetable garden they planted outside Guidos house.When Guido and Isabelle later show up at the house, Gay suggests that they round up wild mustangs to sell. They plan to go to a local rodeo in Dayton to hire a third man for the job. Along the way, they meet Perce Howland Clift, a friend of Gays who is also on his way to the Dayton rodeo to compete. Gay offers to pay for the broke Percesrodeo entry fee if he helps the group round up wild mustangs for slaughter afterward. Isabelle sees her exhusband Charles and his new wife Clara, and decides to invite them to her home instead of going to the rodeo with Gay, Guido, Perce, and Roslyn. Before the rodeo, Guido, Perce, Roslyn and Gaylord all drink heavily at a Dayton bar, where wagers were made and won on Roslyns ability to play a game of paddle ball. The group is nearly involved in a fist fight when another patron at the bar touches Roslyns butt. ........
