With the shirts still balled between forearm and chest, he led King away from the store. "Ovah heah!" That hail in a familiar voice brought Drew's head around. Kirby waved to him vigorously from a doorway, and the scout obediently rehitched King to another rack, joining the Texan in what proved to be the village barber-shop.
Vitus's Dance, was adroitly trapped into admitting that she had really wanted her fiancé smitten with paralysis.

Kirby was reading sign on the other side of the road. His sudden hand signal brought Drew to join him. Hoofprints marked the softer verge. "Turned off not too long ago," Drew commented.
Keep your eye on Ramon. You can trust your sergeant straight along." "Good-bye, George," said Kirby. "I suppose the old man told you that, although no part of a soldier's duty was better than another, your service was a very delicate one, just fitted for you, eh?
