Harlan had ridden eastward, to Lazette a matter of two hundred miles trailing a herd of cattle from the T Down the ranch where he and Langan were employed. When he returned he heard the story of the killing of his friend by Dolver and another man, not identified, but who rode a horse branded with the L Bar M which was the Rancho Seco brand.
Well, instead of staying with you, as a jealous woman would, I will withdraw." "I don't care whether you go or stay, I'm sure. I wonder what you would give to be as fine a man as Mr. Langan?" "All I possess: I swear it! But solely because you admire tall men more than broad views. Mr.
"Then you had better not speak to me, since I have no manners." "Again! Did I say you had no manners? The warmest expressions of regard from my mouth seem to reach your ears transformed into insults. Were I to repeat the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, you would retort as though I had been reproaching you. This is because you hate me. You never misunderstand Langan, whom you love."
"Said Dolver had shot up his partner, Davey Langan back in Pardo. Harlan was evenin' up." "What do you know about Harlan?" The question was addressed to all of them. Rogers answered. "He's a bad guy all bad. He's an iceberg, an' he's got the snakiest gun-hand of any man in the country. Draws hesitatin'-like. A man don't know when he's goin' to uncork his smoke-wagons.
Harlan laughed lowly. "Things don't always shape up the way a man thinks they will, Red. I started for Lamo, figurin' to salivate Dolver an' the other guy who killed Davey Langan. I got Dolver at Sentinel Rock, an' I figured I'd be likely to run into the other guy somewheres mebbe findin' him in Deveny's gang. But runnin' into Lane Morgan sort of changed the deal.
The Norwegians say that silver bullets were cast on purpose to kill him. Here also they murdered forty Scots, prisoners, in cold blood. The pass is, even with a good road, very narrow, and the mountain above and below nearly perpendicular; at the foot runs the Langan, a rapid stream. The Norwegians held the heights, and with them a handful of men might defeat the enemy.
You're not so very clever yourself at understanding what people say, though you make such a fuss because they don't understand you." Here, as she glanced down the road she suddenly looked glad. "Aha!" I said. "What do you mean by 'Aha!" "No matter. I will now show you what a man's sympathy is. As you perceived just then, Langan who is too tall for his age, by-the-by is coming to pay you a visit.
Langan may be defined geometrically as length without breadth; altitude without position; a line on the landscape, not a point in it." "How very clever you are!" "You don't understand me, I see. Here comes your lover, stepping over the wall like a camel. And here go I out through the gate like a Christian. Good afternoon, Mr. Langan.
He laughed as the other cringed, his face dead white, his eyes fixed on the rider with a sort of dread fascination. "Dolver, didn't you know when you got my little partner, Davey Langan, that I'd be comin' for you?" said the rider in a slow, drawling whisper. "In the back you got him, not givin' him a chance. You're gettin' yours now.
One sunny afternoon we were standing at the gate of her uncle's house, she looking down the dusty road for the detestable Langan, I watching the spotless azure sky, when she said: "How soon are you going back to London?" "I am not going back to London. Miss Hickey. I am not yet tired of Four Mile Water." "I am sure that Four Mile Water ought to be proud of your approbation."
