Oh, well, Alice an' I was happy fer both of them, an' it sure took the pressure off of me!Life rocked along nice an' easy after that fer about two wee...s, but then we got a telegram from a banker in Sweetwater Junction about investigatin' a bank robbery. That was only about 45 miles away, soz it wasn't no problem fer Sam an' me ta ride over ta see what we could do ta help. The banker had offered ta pay us $1,000 ifen we could solve the crime, an' that was too great an incentive ta ignore. It was. Oh yes, I know you."The shopkeeper turned her attention to her mother. "No, Mama, you're mistaken. You've never met-"Her mother almost bolted out of her chair. She reached for me, and I backed up. "Yes I do, dammit. I know him!"Another man walked over. "Dutchie, calm yourself or you'll have another stroke."The only thing that made any sense was that Dutchie was the older woman in the picture on the younger shopkeeper's side table the day I shared her first intercourse. But that day I'd only met. Then we'll return to Grandfather in Frankfurt." Isn't Frankfurt a long ways?" Clare asked."It's much closer than you would imagine with the transfer spell," Pat told her.The women cleaned up and started repacking the cart while Pat and I saddled our horses, and harnessed the cart team. We were soon ready, and hitched the team to the cart before canceling the spell for the defensive shell. The fire left by the Eternal Flame went out also."We need the horses in as small a group as you can. How about that hike," she said smiling.Paula apparently knew right where the trail started for she led us right to it. The summit did not seem all that far, but an hour later it seemed just as far as when we started."You sure you want to go to the top?" I asked."Why? You going to wus out old man," she said."Just wondering what the others will think when they don't find us." Don't worry, I doubt out absence will be a concern."We finally reached the top, and I would guess from the sun being.
