LADY BARTHOLOMEW ran down the stairs, most unbecomingly for a
woman of her status, pulling on her gloves. At the bottom of the staircase, she paused for breath, and it was at that moment that Albert realized she was most scandalously wearing menâs breeches. âLady Bartholomew!â he cried.
She looked up from her gloves, frazzled, and adjusted the small travel hat upon her head. âYes, Albert?â âWhat are you wearing?â
Bart looked down at herself. âWhat does it look like?â âBreeches!â Albert could hardly get the word out.
âWhy, yes, they are. If I have to travel, Albert, I wish to be comfortable.â âTravel, Madam?â
âYes, Albert. And youâre coming with me.â
He couldnât have looked more horrified, even if she had told him that as well as wearing breeches she would be forcing him to change into a hoop skirt. âWhere are we going?â
âJazille and Ezra are in trouble. We must go to them.â âThose ruffians!â he spluttered.
She glared at him. âMy friends.â
âPardon me, Lady Bartââ
âI certainly donât pardon you, Albert,â she said, as haughtily and as freely as her social status expected of her. It helped in situations such as this when she had to buck convention. âAnd I donât mind you speaking out of turn, especially as I know you actually quite like Jazille and Ezra.â
âBe that as it may, exactly where are we going?â
Bart checked her reflection in the mirror. âSettlerâs Pass.â âThatâs an outlaw town!â
âThen pack accordingly for danger and adventure!â She turned and gave him her most beguiling smile. âI know I have.â Albert almost fainted as she drew up the side of her jacket and revealed a holster containing a laser pistol. âMadam!â
âAnd look at this!â she instructed, bending down to unzip her boot and display a long hunting knife. Her hat slipped on her head, and as she came back up, she frowned. âPerhaps when you go to change, Albert, because you should be comfortable for the journey, you can fetch me my flying cap and goggles. I believe this hat will prove to be most unsuitable.â She unpinned the headwear in question and handed it to him.
He took it from her with a slight bow. âYes, Lady Bartholomew.â âOh, Albert?â
âYes, Madam?â
There was a mischievous glint in her eye. âWe may be on a
rescue mission, but thatâs not to say we canât have some fun!â âAs you wish, Madam. Iâll bring my Winchester Sure-Laser.â
Bart clapped her hands with unrestrained glee and went to see about getting her trunks loaded. TWO injured men made their way as fast as they could across the rapidly heating desert floor. The morning sun was just beginning to rise above the canyon walls, and those walls were starting to offer little relief from the glare.
Icarus skidded to a stop and leaned against the rock wall. âI just need to rest a moment,â he wheezed.
Ezra turned and came back alongside him. âI thought you wanted to get as far away as possible from the ship?â
âI do,â Icarus panted angrily. âI also have a hole in my belly thatâs telling me to stop.
