Wilfred watched Red Kimball as he glared in that direction, and guessed his thoughts. These were two sisters, going to the evening’s station where the coach would stop for supper, and Lahoma discussed with them their plans and hopes with bright cheerfulness and ready friendship. The stage, which was built after the manner of the old-fashioned omnibus, afforded no opportunity of moving to and fro in the selection of seats, hence, when Red Kimball discovered Lahoma’s identity–the exact moment of the discovery was marked by his violent start–she was safeguarded from his approach by her proximity to a very large woman flanked by a thin spinster.
