In the country, if you had a mean neighbor, you could keep off his land and make him keep off yours. But in the city, all the foulness and misery and brutality of your neighbors was part of your life... . There were mean people everywhere, to be sure . . . .But they weren't tempered, hardened, sharpened, like the treacherous people in cities who live by grinding or cheating or poisoning their fellow men.

He was afraid Polly would grow so discontented that Rudy would quit the farm and take a factory job in Omaha. . . . [To] Rosicky that meant the end of everything for his son. To be a landless man was to be a wage earner, a slave, all your life; to have nothing, to be nothing.

They were comfortable, they were out of debt, but they didn't get much ahead. Maybe, Dr. Burleigh reflected, people as generous and warm-hearted and affectionate as the Rosickys never got ahead much; maybe you couldn't enjoy your life and put it in the bank, too.
