When de Spain persisted, Lefever, huffed, confided to Bob Scott that when the general manager got ready he could catch Sassoon himself.
"Or, there and then," interposed Kennedy, ironically, "some time, somewhere, or no time, nowhere. Having heard all of which, a hundred and fifty times from you two fellows, let us have peace. You've pulled it so often, over at Sleepy Cat, they've got it in double-faced, red-seal records. Let's get started." "Right you are, Farrell," assented Lefever, "but " "Second verse, John.
The strategy of their halt and their firing was not hard to penetrate. The men from the foot-hills were still riding for the canyon. No views were exchanged among Sassoon's captors, but all understood that this move must be stopped. Lefever and Scott, without words, merely left the problem to de Spain as the leader.
And to this point Scott was directed to bring what men he could before daybreak the following morning. "It's a short notice to get many men together of the kind we want," admitted Lefever. "You'll have to skirmish some between now and midnight. What do you think you can do?" Scott had already made up a tentative list.
"Farrel offered it to y', didn't he?" "So Lefever says." "Where y' headin' f'r now?" persisted Bradley, as Kate heard the shuffle of a horse's feet. "Home." "They ain't burned your shack?" Bradley asked with a half chuckle. Kate just heard the man's reply: "Not yet." The hoofbeats drew away. Kate cautiously pushed back her curtain. The late moon was shining in an old and ghostly light.
Lefever asked gingerly about the fight. He made no mention whatever of the crimson pool in the road near Sassoon's hut. The house in the Gap that had sheltered Nan for many years seemed never so empty as the night she left it with de Spain. In spite of his vacillation, her uncle was deeply attached to her. She made his home for him.
"My word was not freely given," Kate was speaking furiously. "It shouldn't have been given at all, then. But it's all right. Will you be friends with me?" "No man that speaks of my father as you spoke of him a moment ago can be my friend." "It was Lefever spoke of your father. I couldn't shut him off. Of course he didn't know you were here. I did know after I'd been here awhile.
To the east of this point the trails to Calabasas and to Sleepy Cat divide, and here Scott and Lefever received de Spain, who had ridden slowly and followed Scott's injunctions to keep the red star to the right of El Capitan all the way across the Sinks. Securing their horses, the three stretched out on the open ground to wait for daylight.
"You don't think it possible he likes you?" suggested Kate, barely glancing Belle's way, and taking care to make her tone very skeptical. Belle only snorted contemptuously and turned to her cooking; but as she did so, she gave her wig a punch. By the merest chance, John Lefever came in a few minutes later. Belle and Kate were at the table. John asked for something to eat.
John Lefever attended the groom, and Duke Morgan sternly, but without compunction, gave the bride. From Medicine Bend, Farrell Kennedy brought a notable company of de Spain's early associates for the event.
