Trail of the Apache And Other Stories (1951)
“He ran over yelling, Hey, that's my rope!
Gosh reached out, laughing, and grabbed one of his braces and snapped it against his faded redn1/4eannel undershirt. Get back, old man, you're interfering with justice. Then he pushed the man hard against the stall partition.
Emmett took hold of his elbow and pulled him out toward the front of the livery. You stay out here, he said. This isn't any of your business.
He turned from the man and nodded his head to the stalls where three horses were.

The open area was wide, but longer than it was wide, with heavy timbers overhead reaching from lofts on both sides that ran the length of the stable above the stalls. The stable was empty but for the three horses toward the back.
Bring those horses up here. Em said it to no one in particular.

Em shook his head, but didn't say anything.
Lloyd said, Shouldn't we be getting out to the stock, Em?MoreLess
