Chapter 4

Mabel and Samuel were saying their goodbyes when Mabel spotted Jean taking off alone towards the saloon. She took a few quick steps and called out, “Jean, can you wait a second?”

Jean stopped and turned back. “Sure, Mabel.”

Mabel caught up to the young woman and asked, “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your protecting Mikey by distracting his uncle. I’m worried for you, though. He’s not a nice man.”

“I overheard him talking about what he was going to do to the poor boy and it made me feel awful for the kid.”

“If he—“

“I’ll be careful.” Jean twisted part of her skirt around one finger. “The Madame keeps laudanum handy for troublesome customers. I’ll slip a dose into Howard’s whiskey tonight, and he’ll sleep until morning.”

“No one’s ever caught on?”

“If they do, Rufus throws them out.”

“Jean, if there’s anything I can do to help you, anything at all, you must ask.”

“If there’s a way that the sheriff could arrest that man, I wouldn’t be sad to see him locked up.”

“He’s working on it,” Mabel assured.
