One Bright Morning
““It can’t last much longer,”
Jubal commented to Dan after supper one night.
The kitchen smelled of the good supper Maggie had just served, freshly brewed tea, and cinnamon, because she had spent the afternoon baking. Jubal liked the way her house always smelled of good things to eat. That was also something he had never experienced before. He was up and about now, limping, sore, and crabby, but able to get around without help.
“Do you think Mulrooney knows about French Jack killing your brother... yet?” Dan asked.
“Hell, yes,” said Jubal.
“You don’t think French Jack didn’t keep him informed, do you?.”
“No,” Dan mumbled, “I don’t guess so.”
“Probably wired him every day that he was near enough to a town to do it,” Jubal muttered.
“I suppose so.”
“You know Mulrooney,” Jubal said joylessly.
“Yeah,” said Dan. “I know Mulrooney.”
“Can’t be too much longer,”
Jubal repeated.
“No,” sighed Dan.
“Mulrooney’s probably already got somebody else on our tail right now.”MoreLess
