“ACROSS THE DESERT came the blast and the ranch house shook. On the stove cast irons jumped and on the wall framed pictures of dead horses rattled and the hands of the noonstuck clock jerked forward slightly and shuddered there. Lord, have mercy. The Gentlys covered their bowls of beans as their adobe walls disintegrated more with each of the world's bad vibrations.”
