Even then she could hardly let him go, clinging to him with a reluctance to separate that was a new experience to her independent, vigorous youth. In the end he unloosened her arm, kissed her once, and hurried out of the room. In the hallway he met McWilliams, also hurryin out from a tearful farewell on the part of Nora. Bannister, the outlaw, already mounted, was waiting for them.
Seems to me y'u had ought to take that voice into grand opera. The way y'u straddle them high notes is a caution for fair. What was it y'u was singing? Sounded like 'Would I were far from here, love." "Y'u go to hell," choked Reddy, rushing past him from the bunkhouse. McWilliams looked round innocently. "I judge some of y'u boys must a-been teasing Reddy from his manner.
Foam covered its mouth and flecked its sides. The pitches were easy to foresee and meet. Presently they ceased altogether. Bannister slid from the saddle and swayed unsteadily across the arena. The emergency past, he had scarce an ounce of force left in him. Jim McWilliams ran out and slipped an arm around his shoulders, regardless of what his friends might think of him for it.
For why should he allow his good name to be dragged in the dust without any effort to save it? On a sudden impulse the girl confided her doubt to McWilliams. "You don't suppose there can be any mistake, do you? Somehow I can't think him as bad as they say. He looks awfully reckless, but one feels one could trust his face." "Same here," agreed the new foreman.
McWilliams said the nurse's experience would be an inestimable help. So we returned, bag and baggage, to our own bedroom once more, and felt a great gladness, like storm-buffeted birds that have found their nest again. Mrs. McWilliams sped to the nursery to see how things were going on there. She was back in a moment with a new dread. She said: "What can make Baby sleep so?"
"We would like to have you come along with us, Mr. McWilliams. I want you to come if you can spare the time." The soft eyes telegraphed an invitation with such a subtle suggestion of a private understanding that Mac was instantly encouraged to accept.

She was just beginning to wash them when McWilliams and Denver dropped into the kitchen by different doors. Each seemed surprised and disappointed at the presence of the other. Nora gave each of them a smile and a dishcloth.
He had fallen again into insensibility and she rinsed and dressed his wounds, working with the quiet impersonal certainty of touch that did not betray the inner turmoil of her soul. But McWilliams, his eyes following her every motion and alert to anticipate her needs, saw that the color had washed from her face and that she was controlling herself only to meet the demands of the occasion.
"In anybody else perhaps, but surely not in Mr. McWilliams." "I'm awful glad to be trotting in a class by myself." "And you'll let us know when you have made your mind up which of us it is to be?" "Well, mine ain't the only mind that has to be made up," he drawled. She took this up gleefully. "I can't answer for Nora, but I'll jump at the chance if you decide to give it to me."
This is the hawss corral, ma'am," explained the young man just as Morgan opened his thin lips to tell her. Judd contrived to get rid of him promptly. "Slap on a saddle, Mac, and run up the remuda so Miss Messiter can see the hawsses for herself," he ordered. "Mebbe she'd rather ride down and look at the bunch," suggested the capable McWilliams.
