Restless Heart (2011)
“While Sam had traveled on trains back East ten years earlier, she’d never set foot on a train before. The sounds, the smells, the rumble of the locomotive as it rolled out of the station, all seemed like a different world to her.
Sam smiled at her wide-eyed innocence, but he never made fun of her, which she appreciated. She truly felt like a smalltown girl suddenly thrown into a big city, and she hadn’t even gotten to Denver yet.
Unfortunately, the first hour on the train, Angeline discovered e...xactly what Alice was talking about when she’d called Sam a half-breed. A woman passing by with her daughter stared at him with a horrified expression. She pulled the little girl against her skirts.
“Oh, sweet Lord, it’s a savage. Don’t look, Laura Sue.” She hurried past, pale as milk, while everyone in the compartment turned to look at them.
“Why are they staring at us?” Angeline whispered to Sam. “It’s not as if we haven’t paid for our tickets.”
In fact, Mr. Bennington had paid for them, saying he would be reimbursed from the company accounts when they arrived in Denver.MoreLess
