They added the larger supplies to Buell as he was used to carrying loads and the new mare was still growing accustomed to the bit and saddle.
Arthur also splurged and got a bottle of rum and a bottle of whiskey. Nothing fancy, just a little something. He also eyed the leather bound journals, but they were pricey even if he hadn’t bought the liquor, and he passed them up. But God did he miss writing!
Normally he’d be okay with staying one night but as the new mare was unpredictable and they had a lot of supplies, it was best they left town. Mounting, they rode up to Emerald Ranch, the ride relatively short, the fresh air and breeze welcome after the stink of livestock. Arthur stopped them a bit away from the barn on the ranch, dismounted and had Todd remain with the horses, approaching a balding fellow working on a stagecoach.
They greeted relatively amicably, both having known one another and the man Seamus mentioned something about having not seen Arthur since after the lion incident. Arthur then procured a bundle of items he had no use of that he’d found around the cabin. Some clothes but little bits and bobs. Some haggling, money exchanged, as the sun went down and finally Arthur bid him good evening, returning to the medicine seller to try and find a spot to camp for the night.
