With thanks to Jim Wilson 

   Sometimes you might read something like this:

  “First Farmer William Nilly plowed those first fields and tossed those first stones, one of those first people to throw those first stones up against those first wooden fences first in that empty howling wilderness.  Mostly interested in the disposal of stone, William Nilly – who clearly wasn’t interested in making a stone fence – piled these stones “loosely” and quite unlike a “proper fence” at all...”
