Tess and Abraham are going to market to sell the beehives. Their father is too sick from drunkenness to go. Abraham falls asleep in the cart and, with nobody to keep her awake, so does Tess. A mail cart with quiet wheels speeds down the road and skewers their horse Prince. Tess wakes up to find her horse dying on the road.
