After waiting in the station until the 8:12 to Phoenix was lon...g gone, followed by the 9:13 to Denver and the 10:46 to Las Cruces, he finally presented himself at Opal Cinque’s salon, only to hear from Cracklin’ Mag that the patient had disappeared early the night before. Then he knew exactly what Famke had done and where she’d gone, and he knew he should have thought better than to give her a purseful of money and leave her alone to spend it. He had no one to blame but himself; it was hardly worthwhile even to be angry with Famke.
