"That's Clarenden's job, not mine," another of the bull-whackers resented a command of Jondo's. "Gail! Gail! Anybody on earth seen Gail Clarenden this morning?" came from a far corner of the camp.
Jondo knew those signs, and his heart beat high with hope. "They haven't done it yet," he said to his companion. "They want to get away first. We are safe for a day." And they rode swiftly on again. "There's trouble here," Bill Banney declared as he watched the ground. "Too many feet. Could it be here?" His voice was hardly audible. The two men halted and read the ground with piercing eyes.
In the bridal party Beverly and I walked in front, followed by the two girls in the white Greek robes which they had worn at the school frolic at St. Ann's, and wearing their headbands, the one of silver and turquoise, the other of silver and coral.
