Till Hill started his coach up, the only way to get across to Santa Fé from Palomitas was to go a-horseback or walk. Both ways was unhealthy; and the coach, being pretty near as liable to hold-ups, wasn't much healthier.
Except the day Hart's aunt spent with him, and Santa Fé Charley run the kindergarten, I reckon it was the quietest day we ever went through at least till we got along to the clean-up that turned Palomitas into what some of us felt was a blame sight too much of a Sunday-school town.
That the size of his scare had been big enough to make him do a'most anything showed up from the way he kept on being scared after it was all over he coming into Palomitas looking like a wet white rag when, by his own showing, he'd been out of reach of anybody's hurting him for four or five hours anyway, and had had a chance to cool off at Pojuaque while he was loading in old man Bouquet's wine.
Except the Mexican padre who belonged there the one I've spoke of that made a record, and Bishop Lamy had to bounce and sometimes the French ones from San Juan and the Cañada, who was straight as strings, there wasn't a fire-escape ever showed himself in Palomitas; and as to the ladies of the town well, the ladies wasn't just what you'd call the aunt kind.
She said back to him, pleasant like, that a young man like him couldn't well be fathering an old lady like her, though it was obliging of him to offer; but, anyway, she wasn't going straight back East, because she had to wait awhile at Palomitas for a remittance she was expecting to pay her way through and she wasn't any too sure about it, she said, whether she'd get her remittance; or, if she did get it, when it would come.
I am within bounds in saying, sir, that in Palomitas she is universally adored." "Oh, Mr. Charles! How can you!" says the Hen, kind of turning away and looking as if what Charley'd said really had made her feel like blushing a little. Then she faced round again and shook hands with Boston who was so rattled he seemed only about half awake, and done it like a pump and says to him: "Mr.
John's Wood up by the side of Primrose Hill is the Avenue Road; and so you can understand why thinking about coming out from the Underground and walking homeward in the cool of the evening almost gives me a pain!" Santa Fé allowed he wasn't acquainted with that locality; but he said he hadn't no doubt since you couldn't get a worse one it was a better place in summer than Palomitas.
Things went that same Sunday-school way right on to the end of the game; and Hart said his aunt told him as they was coming along down to the deepo she never would a-believed there could be such a town as Palomitas was, out in that wild frontier country, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Cherry's motion is carried, gentlemen," Santa Fé said; "and I will now appoint a committee to draught a notice to be posted at the deepo, and to call around at the other banks and saloons in the town and notify verbally our fellow-citizens of the action we have taken and I will ask the Hen here kindly to inform the other ladies of Palomitas of our intentions, and to request their assistance in realizing them.
I guess Bill Hart felt just the same about it as the rest of us leastways, he didn't strain himself any trying to keep his nephew home. Things went kind of nervous that day at Palomitas.
