“Too damn well,” said Lucy inelegantly, and went back to the house, where she confronted Jack again.
“You git ready,” she said. “You go away right now.”
“All right.” He got to his feet and started for the house. “I’m good and ready to go, you bet. I never was as sour on any place in my life.”
“This place sour for you now, you bet,” said Lucy.
He whirled and glowered at her.
“I’ll remember this,” he told her.
Sleepy was coming up from the corral, but neither of them noticed him.
“Some day I’ll show Big Medicine Hawkworth where to head in—and the rest of you.”
“Me included?” asked Sleepy.
Jack turned his head. This was not so good. He turned to enter the house, but Sleepy stopped him.
