He said nothing to his friends, but Reb, who knew him better than any other, said one day, “It's gonna be all right, Wash. Goél doesn't want us to lose.” He grinned, and the sun caught his sandy hair, and his blue eyes glowed. “Far as I know, Goél don't sponsor no losers.”

“What's that, Wash?”
“Going up—and coming down.”
