The travelers and Scully arrive at the hotel, where Scully endeavors to make them as comfortable as possible. Scully’s son Johnnie is quarreling with an old farmer about a game of cards called High-Five. Meanwhile, Scully orders his daughters to prepare a meal for the new guests. The old farmer occasionally chats with the guests, but only the Easterner and the cowboy respond to him. The Swede is quiet and jumpy.
