How do Billy, Boyd and the young girl survive over the next few days and what is their ultimate arrangement?

The boys and the young girl remain in a village of farm workers over the coming days. Boyd and the girl connect, though Boyd had been upset that the girl was along. Boyd tells Billy the girl wants to come with them, but Billy denies the request. Nevertheless, they ride out together the following day. Boyd argues Billy into lending the girl one of their horses so she can go home with the agreement to meet later.
