Had his beauty depreciated significantly in one day, or even in one year, it would be one more comic incident in this tragic adventure of life. He wanted to recollect exactly what he looked like 365 days earlier. It was not difficult to remember that birthday as it had been a particularly odd day spent with Kimberly and his wife.
"Well, what do you know, Curly?" says she to me. "This ain't according to Hoyle. Mrs. Kimberly ought to of waited till I returned her call, and till maybe one or the other of us had invited the other to a reception, or to a dinner or something." "What's a reception?" says I. "Something we never had yet, Curly," says she. "It's a place where people ain't happy; but there's plenty of 'em.
It's full o' diamonds calculated to set Kimberly hollerin'. Maybe you fancy a locket with it. It'll take a whole bunch of your dame's " "You'll light right out of this camp with daylight to-morrow!" The tone of the camp-boss banished the last shadow of the pedlar's cast-iron smile. "Oh, yes?" he said, his eyes hardening. "That's wot I said. This camp's private property an' you'll light out.
I wouldn't get on a mean horse now for a thousand dollars. I'm scared of horses, ma'am; but she ain't" meaning Bonnie Bell. "She still thinks she can ride any of 'em." "Yes," says Bonnie Bell; "and, as far as that goes, if I could get you to come with me I would always ride a horse and not go in a car or boat." "Boat?" says Miss Kimberly. "Oh, of course you have 'em too."
Kimberly used to say." I guess likely that those that's so afraid of being doubted has some good reason for it!"
Pat Malone was there and all his children, accompanied by Molly Gray, who had been promoted to the dignity of his housekeeper since the death of his wife. In the morning Minnie had informed her father of the expected presence of some of the young ladies' parents and friends, and Mr. Kimberly suggested the propriety of inviting these to dinner in his own house, at a later hour.
"Kimberly does, perhaps." "No, sir," dissented Kimberly. "He had been to Australia, I believe; and that's all I know about him." "It is the same man," said Mr. Carr, quietly. "And if you can tell me anything about him," he continued, turning to the older man, "I shall be exceedingly obliged to you. To begin with when did you first know him?" But at this juncture an interruption occurred.
I only said to her that the old man was my best friend and I liked Tom's ma as much as I could any woman with gray hair. "Still, I said gray hair was all right for a grandma. Why, Curly," says he, "I been plumb thoughtful and tactful. I ain't said a word to let Bonnie Bell know what I thought about Tom Kimberly. I believe in leaving a young girl plumb free to follow her own mind and heart."
No, neither homosexual encounter nor this sending of a wedding ring into oblivion had freed him from memories. Inside there was an archaeological exhibit which he skimmed briefly. Noppawan knew so many inordinate details for it to be of interest to her, and for Kimberly it had always been amusement parks, French wine, and Debussy and Ravel performances at the Thai Cultural Center.
And then I allowed she'd, like enough, marry Tom Kimberly, and that'd change her and it'd all come out all right. All the time I was hoping and trying to save both her and you. I been nigh about crazy, Colonel. And all the time, of course, I was only a damn fool cowpuncher, without any brains." "She's gone!" says he, after a time.
