[The Flying U’s Last Stand by B. M. Bower]@TWC D-Link bookThe Flying U’s Last Stand CHAPTER 22 4/10
Oh, she was very busy indeed, during the week that was spent in hunting the Kid.
When he was found, and the rumor of an engagement between Rosemary Allen and that treacherous Andy Green reached her, she was busier still; but since she had changed her methods and was careful to mask her real purpose behind an air of passive resentment, her industry became less apparent. The Happy Family did not pay much attention to Florence Grace Hallman and her studied opposition.
They were pretty busy attending to their own affairs; Andy Green was not only busy but very much in love, so that he almost forgot the existence of Florence Grace except on the rare occasions when he met her riding over the prairie trails. First of all they rounded up the stock that had been scattered, and they did not stop when they crossed Antelope Coulee with the settlers' cattle.
They bedded them there until after dark.
Then they drove them on to the valley of Dry Lake, crossed that valley on the train traveled road and pushed the herd up on Lonesome Prairie and out as far upon the benchland as they had time to drive them. They did not make much effort toward keeping it a secret.
