âNo, I'm not lying. He's married another woman from Laramie, I'm afraid. He was
in such a hurry that heââ
Nellie stabbed her hands onto her small waistline of her deep red dress and tapped
her shoe on the wood-planked floor. I could just throttle someone over this! âWell, what
can I do? Where can I go now? You took my money! I'm out in the wilderness with no
family. Now what? You've really put me in a bad situation, Mr. Gibbons!â
âIt's seventy-five dollars I took for your contract to marry. I'll return it now. Shhh,
please. I run a respectable business. This is not my fault.â
She had him at her advantage. He definitely didn't want a bad scene that drew a
lot of attention. The money could keep her until she thought up a better solution to her
problem.
He stepped behind the counter, ducked out of sight and shuffled through a drawer
below. When he rose to his feet and brought out several bills, red-faced, he counted them
into her hand and added, âI'm sorry, but I have no power over prospective grooms getting
married while their prospective bride is in route. None whatsoever.â
After she left, angry, stinging tears welled in her eyes, run down her cheeks until
she tasted salty tears. Perhaps it isn't Mr. Gibbons' fault. She tied her dark red bonnet
more tightly under her chin, braved the late March wind and tromped toward the hotel
muttering to herself the entire way.
Of all the actions she did not want to take was to ride the train back to Boston and
live with her nagging, hateful old mean Aunt Patricia. Just barely she had enough money
to make it back. She'd rather be shot and lying in a graveyard than go back there. Or
maybe, I should just use that gun that I'm carrying on myself and end it all. âGrrrr.â
