The thirty-mile drive from Boulder to Denver took three hours and involved one changed tire. “Someday the roads will allow us to travel at higher speeds and someone will invent automobile tires that do not blow out over every little rock or hole in the road,” Carpenter groused amiably. In a soft voice he added, “In any event, I shall be glad not to make this tedious drive again for a time.”

“Not as glad as I shall be,” Tabitha laughed in whispered response. “I do not care to ever make this journey again!”

She smiled at her father, seated across from her next to Carpenter. Her father dozed, his chin bobbing gently on his chest.

Without Carpenter saying anything, Tabitha’s nursing senses had already observed and concluded that he was unwell. She gently squeezed her mother’s hand.

“We are s’ very proud of you, Tabitha,” her mother murmured. The sentiment seemed the only thing that she could say, but Tabitha understood: Her parents were overwhelmed—dazed by their journey from Texas by train, by their luxurious apartment in Carpenter’s home, by being whisked to Boulder and back in Carpenter’s automobile.

By meeting their daughter, back from the grave.

I doubt they have ridden in a motorcar before now, Tabitha realized. They must be so discomfited, so out of their element. She raised her mother’s rough hand to her lips and kissed it.

“I am so glad you are here, Mama.”

Across the car in the dimming light, Carpenter’s eyes watched her.

“Thank you,” Tabitha mouthed.
