The Brothers Live Together

Adam and Charles live together on the farm, but their relationship is tense and fraught with conflict. They argue over work, money, and their different temperaments. Adam becomes restless and talks of going to California. Charles, who loves the farm, resents Adam's discontent. Their relationship follows a pattern of growing irritation, a blow-up, and then a period of guarded peace.
