[Jean of the Lazy A by B. M. Bower]@TWC D-Link bookJean of the Lazy A CHAPTER VII 6/19
Them boys can sure ride and rope and handle stock, if that's what you want; and I reckon it is, or you wouldn't be out here with your bunch of actors looking for the real stuff." They talked a long while after that.
Gradually it dawned upon Burns that he had heard of the Lazy A ranch before, though not by that euphonious title.
It seemed worth investigating, for he was going to need a good location for some exterior ranch scenes very soon, and the place he had half decided upon did not altogether please him.
He inquired about roads and distances, and waddled off to the hotel parlor to ask Muriel Gay, his blond leading woman, if she would like to go out among the natives next morning.
Also he wanted her to tell him more about that picturesque place she and Lee Milligan had stumbled upon the day before,--the place which he suspected was none other than the Lazy A. That is how it came to pass that Jean, riding out with big Lite Avery the next morning on a little private scouting-trip of their own, to see if that fat moving-picture man was making free with the stock again, met the man unexpectedly half a mile from the Bar Nothing ranch-house. Along every trail which owns certain obstacles to swift, easy passing, there are places commonly spoken of as "that" place.
