He could not think clearly, because of the dread thing that gripped him at thought of Necia. Was he to lose her, after all? He gave up trying to think, and fled for Stark's saloon, reasoning that where one was the other must be near, and there would surely be some word of Necia.
Merriton's arm lay upon his sleeve, and he endured because he had to that was all. "Hello!" he said, to Lester Stark's rather half-hearted greeting Lester Stark never had liked Dacre Wynne and they both knew it. "You here as well? Merriton's giving me a send-off and no mistake.
