“I told you this wasn’t finished, Spencer!” And
he tried to land a fist on Jake’s jaw, an attempt which
was deflected. Jake grabbed him by the shoulders and
threw him to the floor. Henderson tripped Jake, and
they rolled over, trading blows.
As the crowd gathered to watch the two
combatants, Sheriff Cortland and one of his deputies
pulled them apart. “What is going on here?” Henderson pointed at Jake. “He was interfering
with my intended.”
Cat, who was watching with horror from the
sidelines, belted out, “I’m not your intended!”
The sheriff thought for a moment. “Mr. Henderson,
since you are who you are, I’m going to let you two sort
this out peacefully. If you can’t do it peacefully, I’m
putting you both in jail.”
By that time, Albert and John had joined them.
Henderson turned to Albert and pointed at Cat. “I wish
you would control your daughter.”
Cat felt her whole body tense with a desire to get a
gun and blow Henderson to kingdom come. “I can’t
take this any more!” she exploded. “Father, I told you
how I feel. If you insist on Mr. Henderson courting me,
I will have to move out.”
“Cat, listen—” Albert moved to put a hand on her
shoulder, but she shook him off.
“Leave me alone! Why can’t everybody leave me
alone!” She ran out the side door and into the carriage
lot, where she untied her mask, leaned on one of the
hitching posts, and burst into tears full of hurt, anger,
and frustration. |
