In chapter one, Herriot returns after getting very cold delivering lambs on a cold windy night. He says as a single man he would often spend hours awake after returning from such a call trying to warm up, but the warmth of his wife causes him to warm up quickly and fall asleep right away.

2. Describe Herriot's visit to the Ingledew farm in chapter one.
