Encyclopedia Brown And the Case of the Secret Pitch
“Scotty, the party of eastern tourists rode the Texas range. The hotel manager had promised them “Historic Scenes of the Old Wild West.” Who knew what another mile might bring?
Encyclopedia Brown knew. More blisters. He rode last in line. Behind him came only the chuck wagon with the food. Around noon, even the chuck wagon passed him.
Encyclopedia didn’t mind. It was lunch time.
Most of the tourists (including Encyclopedia) ate standing up. It made the boy detective mad to see his father sitting... contentedly on the ground.
“You don’t look well, Leroy,” he said.
“I wish Bugs Meany were sitting in my place,” said Encyclopedia.
Chief Brown grinned. “I had the cowboy at the hotel give you the gentlest horse in the stable.”
“Then I must have the toughest saddle,” answered Encyclopedia. “Say, Dad, do you think I made Mr. Scotty mad before?”
“No, but you upset him when you figured out the truth about the gunfight between Ringo Charlie and Johnny Kid,” replied his father.MoreLess
