When Captain Jack and the filly saw Carolyn June they stood for a moment as rigid as though cast in bronze, heads held high, eyes fixed curiously yet without fear on the slender girlish figure. Captain Jack took a step forward in a half-challenging way. The maverick stood perfectly still. "You beauty," the girl repeated, "you wonderful golden beauty!
Karen asked deprecatingly, and at her husband's smiling permission, she led the King of Spades, Carolyn had to give up the Jack, which she must have foolishly thought would take a trick; the dummy contributed the deuce, and Penny followed with her own last trump the eight. Karen counted on her fingers, her eyes on the remaining trumps in her hand, then smiled triumphantly up at her husband.
So Hortense packed her things and joined her friend for a brief sojourn in sight of the Great Smokies. Thus, when Medora herself went forth to meet the spring among the sand-hills, she had only Carolyn and the other members of her domestic staff. Yet no simplest week-end without a guest or so, and she asked Cope to accompany them.
Parker and the cowboys straightened up when they heard Skinny and Old Heck preparing to leave and went around the corner of the building toward the bunk-house. Ophelia and Carolyn June stepped out on the porch with Old Heck and Skinny. The air was oppressively still and hot.
The cowboys mumbled greetings which Carolyn June and Ophelia graciously acknowledged. Sing Pete had laid two extra covers. "You boys can take your regular places all except you, Parker," Old Heck said, " you set at that side on this end," pointing to the seat at the left next to the head of the table.
5:24 Janet Raymond leaves room; says she went straight to front porch. Players: Karen Marshall, Penny Crain, Carolyn Drake. 5:28 Nita leaves living room, goes to her bedroom to make up. 5:28-1/2 Lois Dunlap and Miles go into dining room, Miles to make cocktails. 5:31 Judge Marshall enters living room, interrupts bridge game.
"Not Carolyn Seymour!" said Susan, shocked. "Why, she never is here! The Seymours " she shook her head. "I know people do accept them," said Susan, "but the Saunders don't even know them! They're not in the best set, you know, they're really hardly in society at all!" "I know NOW," Miss Summers said miserably.
At 5:25, Penny Crain, Karen Marshall, Carolyn Drake, and Flora Miles, who had been requisitioned by Dundee to play the part of the murdered woman, were seated at table No. 2, and behind Karen's chair stood Lois Dunlap. Clive Hammond and his new wife were again together in the solarium. But there Dundee's restaging of the original scene in the tragic drama ended.
Sing Pete asked with a grin. "No," she replied, "I feed it to broncho to Gold Dust maverick. Some folks sprinkle salt on bird's tail to catch him I put sugar on horse's tongue to make him love me " "Lamblin' Kid, he do that. Allee time him gettee sugal for Clap'n Jack!" "Feeds 'Clap'n Jack' sugar, does he?" Carolyn June said pensively.
It was to get the hat the Ramblin' Kid had come again to the scene of yesterday's tragedy. He had seen it lying there when Carolyn June and he rode away on Captain Jack and thought then of trying to get it, but the part of the broken rope attached to his saddle was too short to reach it and it was impossible to secure it in any other way.
