what does to be cleared all over"here mean? "I declare," he said, "your Ma purely shocked me when she said 'twenty years'. I jest hadn't never set down and reckoned the time. The years has slipped by me, one by one, me not noticin' nor countin'. Ever' spring, I'd figger to git your Ma a well dug. Then I'd need a ox, or the cow'd bog down and perish, or one o' the young uns'd put in and die and I'd have no heart for well-diggin', and medicine to pay for. Bricks so turrible high—When I begun diggin' oncet, and got no water at thirty feet, I knowed I was in for it. But twenty years is too long to ask ary wo-man to do her washin' on a seepage hillside." Jody listened gravely. He said, "We'll git her a well one day." "Twenty years—" Penny repeated. "But always somethin' interferin'. And the war—And then the land to be cleared all over agin." He stood leaning against the trough, looking backward along the years.
