Summary
They were sand-scrubbed women of ill repute. The widower and the mayor. More spirit than anything else at this point. Folk liked to say that the west will take what it will and leave the rest to the buzzards and flies.
“You made the right choice when you told me to leave the first time,” Roy will tell her. Like that matters. Like she doesn’t have 30 horses that are worthless right now.

Summary
“How do you know all this stuff, Roy?” asked Truckee.
“Well, I️ was taught."
“Did your paw teach you?” Truckee thought about Roy’s father. He imagined the sort of things that Roy and his father had done together—fishing and hunting and riding horses—the things he never got to do with his own father, but now in some miraculous turn of life, was getting to do with Roy.
OR: Roy ventures off into the woods to cut down a tree for firewood and brings Truckee along. Male bonding and father/son relationship building ensues.
