with ice. Secures pick and shovel across bags, mounts own
horse and starts to ride away, leading second horse as
before.

and, with Jess leading, goes into house.

Steve is just making an ice-pack with a piece of flannel.
Places it on child's head. He stands watching the child
intently for a moment, then looks at the girl. Jess shows
her gratitude very plainly. She holds out her hand. Steve
starts to take it, then draws back sharply. Jess astonished,
not understanding his reluctance. He hangs his head, but
remains silent. Jess watches him for a moment and then turns
away. She is standing by table which is close to the bed.
As she turns she knocks over the bottle of medicine with one
hand.
