SIR RICHARD HAD given me one more thing before I returned to my own country. He had given me an unforgettable year of travel on the Continent.

“My sister,” he told me, “willed her money to James, and James left it to go to Felicia, but to be used as I saw fit, as a protection for us in the event we came upon hard times. So I want you to take money enough from that estate to see Europe.”

He denied my protests, and said quietly, “You owe it to yourself, boy. Someday you may have a family of your own, and you will want to contribute to their education. Also, you owe it to James. He would have wished it so.”

My protests were not very strong in the beginning, and that quieted them forever, so I accepted money and a drawing account, and spent the next year in traveling—without ever forgetting the West.

The only thing I did not like about it, Sir Richard insisted I leave my gun with him until I returned to England.

By the time I returned to the States I was nineteen years old; the year was 1858.

That year, for a short while I was not sure whether I wished to remain in the West, but that uncertainty lasted about as long as it took me to get a saddle on a horse, mount up, and feel the wind on my face and see the long grass bending under it.
