“Nick said to the solemn group gathered around the table after supper. “They’re treating you like a hawk does a hare, swooping over it often enough that it doesn’t feel safe in its refuge or out of it, so at last it becomes too anxious to stay. It flees, which leaves it vulnerable to the hawk. In this case there is one hawk using another to help it—between the Comanches and the Circle, we don’t feel completely safe on the ranch or off of it, am I right?” Slowly, everyone nodded. “There are peopl...e who could be allies in town, but the hawks have isolated you from them, so you feel reluctant to go to them for help for fear they’ll refuse, and they feel some distrust of you, too. If we can break that isolation somehow, if we could prove we are more valuable to the town than any of these men in the Circle, we would have allies who would come to our aid, and the Circle wouldn’t feel free to attack. And the town could become safer from the Comanches. But it will mean postponing something we’ve started here at the ranch, at least for now.”MoreLessRead More Read Less
