Laceysway (2013)
“It was an old town, surrounded by rolling foothills and craggy peaks. The town had been built on a low ridge along the banks of the Santa Cruz River. It was a busy place, always humming with activity. Squat, thick-walled adobe buildings lined both sides of the streets at irregular intervals. There were no sidewalks. When it rained, the mud was a foot deep.
As they rode down the dusty street, Lacey’s first thought was that every building seemed to be a cantina. Women in long dresses made their w...ay through the town, going shopping or to church. There were soldiers and businessmen and numerous children and dogs.
She wrinkled her nose as the mingled odors of coffee, grease, spicy food, chili, mesquite smoke, and dust assailed her nostrils. From somewhere came the soft sound of guitar music, but it was quickly lost in the rattle of wagon wheels and the somber wail of a mission bell.
Matt drew rein at a hotel, got them settled into a room, and then took Lacey shopping. He bought her a new dress, underthings, shoes and stockings, a lacy white parasol, a perky bonnet with pink and blue ribbons, and a pale blue shawl with long fringe.MoreLess
