The Enchanted Land
“Mr. Chandler called to Seth.
The girls watched him walk away, leading his horse. “Whoever his wife is, she’s a very lucky woman.”
“I want to marry a man just like him, big and quiet, who walks just like that.” Both girls watched Seth, then giggled.
“If Mama heard you, you know what she’d say.”
“I know, but it’s hard for Mama to understand—she was never faced with a man like Seth Colter. Any woman who would leave him must be crazy.”
Seth tied up his horse and walked into the saloon. An explosi...on of laughter came from three well-fed men in business suits at a near table.
“Ol’ Charlie here paid three thousand dollars for some Chinese wallpaper just because the little gal said she would personally supervise its hanging. Three thousand dollars for three days’ company! Pretty expensive, huh?”
The man with the red face laughed. “Of course, he did get to keep the wallpaper.”
“That’s all he got, though. He sure didn’t get anything else.”
Again, the explosive laughter.MoreLess
