The Case of the Hooking Bull
“From my bunker position, I homed in on their voice frequencies and picked up these bits of information: 1. Sally May and Loper were going to Abilene to attend the wedding of . . . someone. Two people. Two people were getting married—a man and a woman.
2. One of the alleged persons-to-be-wed was Sally May’s cousin.
3. It appeared that Loper had resisted the idea of attending the wedding, arguing that he had a month’s work to do on the ranch and no hope of getting caught up.
4. To whi...ch Sally May replied: “If it was a team roping, a rodeo, or a dog fight, you’d be caught up in a New York minute, but when it comes to my kinfolks, you always seem to be snowed under!”
5. Loper seemed to have no answer to that. He scowled up at the clouds and tugged at his necktie and mumbled, “This thing’s choking me to death. I’ll have brain damage before we reach Guthrie.”
