“What is it?” Perryman asked as the housekeeper entered the dining room.

“Mr. Kendall is here.”

“Is he waiting?”

“Yes, sir. By the door, as you asked.”

“Good. Thank you.”

As she left, his wife leaned forward and asked, “Why don’t you let him come in and have some breakfast?”

“I don’t want to have breakfast with one of my ranch hands, dear,” he said. “Besides, I’m sure he had breakfast in the bunkhouse.”

“Well, how long will you make him wait?”

“Until I finish my breakfast.”

She looked at his plate, which was almost empty.

“Can I persuade you to take more men?”

“Not this time,” he said. “Don’t worry, it will be fine.”

“And the baby—”

“The boy will be dealt with.”

“How?”

He put his napkin down and stood up.

“I don’t think you want to know that.”

“Milton—”

“You didn’t want to know the details about the family,” he reminded her. “So I’m sure you won’t want to know this. I’ll see you later.”
