CHAPTER 5

Sadie had conveniently settled in her hotel room. Not only had she exchanged her dirty dress for sparkling new one, she had taken her bath as well. The pleasant smell of bathing lotion had engulfed the whole room, and Blue River could easily separate the aroma of the meal they had almost finished from the awesome scent of the lotion that welcomed him when he entered her room.

They were seated close to the window of the room, and he had spent most of his time admiring her as they discussed varying issues while dining on the food that had been brought to the room. He had wisely chosen to avoid the dining room on two counts: The first being people were jumpy enough as it is with talk of the attack. Secondly, he recalled Honor Elizabeth had told him that when she had tried to dine there when she and Whip had been in town, as a negro she had been turned away at first until Whip had forcefully put his foot down, not allowing his beloved daughter to be discriminated against. Blue River had enough going on that he didn’t need to be arguing with the restaurant people to gain entry. Besides, he enjoyed being with Sadie in the privacy of her room. When he had first arrived, he had noticed the delight in her eyes as they took in his bare torso with its rippling muscles from all the hard work he did lumberjacking in the mountains of Cedar Ledge.

Now with dinner over, they had shared a laugh about Sadie’s skills in being able to get the birthday cake in one piece all the way to the trestle project before all had gone to hell out there. Soon his gaze, however, turned outside the window as Sadie spoke. Despite her wonderful presence, his mind started to be drawn back towards the attacks on the Grand Western. He still couldn’t rule Taylor out, but something was telling him there was a sincerity about the man. He kept lousy company for sure, but was he really in league with the deadly Apaches?

Sensing his attention wandering, Sadie sought to real him back in by attempting to engage him with a question.

“… and I am so excited,” she said joyously. “Father says this fall he is going to grant me my wish of so many years and send me to Vassar College. It’s back east. Have you ever been east, Blue River?”

She paused for two seconds, and when he didn't answer, she returned to talk about her choice of colleges. "I don't know how we can afford it since my brother and sister are already enrolled in two of the finest schools in the east." She nodded a few times as she spoke further, "I really didn't think I would get to go Vasser but … Blue River?"

She made a show of sighing loudly when she noticed the Indian was lost in his stare, looking out the window. As expected, Blue River snapped to attention again and spoke sincerely.
