Mr. Otto's Indian relatives left after the noon meal, setting off at a brisk pace. No wonder; the air turned colder and the wind was louder than usual in the cottonwoods. She looked up. A flock of geese honked overhead, flying in a V formation. She watched them as they seemed to take autumn along for the ride. The wind picked up all afternoon. By sup-pertime, everyone seemed happy to troop indoors and warm up by the Queen Atlantic.

Doc came to her, rubbing his hands. “You need to know there's another mouth to feed.”

“Who might that be?”

“An old Indian,” Matt said. “He lives in the extra tack room by the stable.”

She blinked. “Does Mr. Otto know about him?”

“Sure he does. The old boy shows up like clockwork,” Doc said. “He likes lots of sugar in his coffee. Maybe that's why he doesn't have many teeth.”

Julia shooed the men away from the Queen Atlantic so she could open the oven door. She smiled to herself at the great exhalation all around her.

“Boston baked beans, gentlemen.”

They sat down to eat. After two bites, Doc nodded. “Superior.” He reached for the bread. “There's one thing else you should know about the Indian. It always snows the day after he shows up. Winter's here, Julia.”
