"Then," said Racey, turning suddenly on McFluke, "how did you get that black eye?" McFluke's eyes flickered at the question. His body appeared to sink inward. Then he straightened, and flung back his wide shoulders, and glowered at Racey Dawson. "I ran into a door this morning," said the saloon-keeper in a tone of the utmost confidence. "Oh, you ran into a door, did you," Racey observed, sweetly.
It's like Racey says. Question is, who did he hit? McFluke's eye and McFluke's lies are a good enough answer for me." "You'll have to prove it!" snapped Luke Tweezy. "I expect we'll do that, Luke," the sheriff said, calmly. "Have you agreed on a verdict, Judge?" "We had," replied Dolan.
"And he ain't boiling along quite as fast now as he was in the wash," elaborated Racey. "I noticed that, too," admitted Mr. Saltoun. They waited, barring the trail. Punch-the-breeze Thompson did not attempt to ride around them. He pulled up and nodded easily to the two men. "They's been a fraycas down at McFluke's," Thompson said. "Fraycas?" Racey cocked an eyebrow.
If you wouldn't mind telling me where McFluke's is, ma'am " "It's a little saloon and store on the Marysville road at the Lazy River ford." "It's new since my time then." "It's been in operation maybe a year and a half. What makes you think someone is trying to steal our ranch?" "Lots o' things," he told her, briskly. "But they ain't gonna do it if I can help it. Don't you fret.
The drably ancient and moth-eaten story with which every unsuccessful gambler seeks to establish an alibi. "Whose wheel was it?" said Racey. "Lacey's at Marysville." "In the back room of the Sweet Dreams, huh? An' there's nothing crooked about Lacey's wheel, either. It's as square as Lacey himself." "Lacey's wasn't the only wheel. They was McFluke's, too." So McFluke had a wheel, had he?
All I want you to do is go some'ers else peaceful. You ain't figuring on living here, are you?" Chuck uttered a short, hard laugh. McFluke's back was toward Racey. Peaches Austin was behind him, thirty feet away. Racey's left eyelid drooped. His head moved almost imperceptibly toward his horse. "I'm going now," said Chuck. "I'll go with you just to see you on yore way sort of," said Racey.
