Wonderful ending! Thanks, @Topher Lydon! And right at the end, where Cam moved all of six feet on Henry's new invention for him, I couldn't help but think of these lines from Tom Waits' "Kentucky Avenue"... I'll take the spokes from your wheelchair and a magpie's wings and I'll tie them to your shoulders and your feet I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad, cut the braces off your legs and we'll bury them tonight out in the cornfield

Gamblers and trains? Hmmm....

Methinks there's more to Brayden than meets the eye.

My money is on Jean Levesque.

Sorry, Bobby, but God's Away on Business. And the ones who think they've been left in charge are the Killers, thieves, and lawyers.

No. It's we, the readers, who should be thanking you for bringing us on the journey!

@Topher Lydon has another Western you might like. It's called Buckshot, and it's on my reading list as well. 📚
-
I've added reading it to my to-do list! 😅

Those were my initial thoughts as well, @drpaladin. So I went back and reread the section in Chapter 7. Although we are told that Ephraim pointed his rifle at the centre of the Elder's chest, we are not told that he actually fired...

No. But it's X-rated. To my "genteel" sensibilities at least. 😅
-
Oh, @Topher Lydon can do X-rated! Have a read of The Asset and The Liability if you don't believe me. 😉

This, from the section where Acosta is saddling Flower in preparation to ride out after Ephraim...

Sandalwood. My favourite incense! The smell of it always brings me back to the 1960s, when we would burn sandalwood incense sticks to cover the scent of the spliffs we smoked in my student days. Mind you, we called them joss sticks in those days. And apparently the term "joss" is a corruption of the word "Deus" - meaning "God". I'm just a mine of useless information, ain't I? 😅

If you read more of his stories, @Jason Rimbaud, you'll find that he does something like that at the start of almost every chapter. Another tendency he has is to start a chapter by describing the smell inside the room the chapter starts in - like this opening paragraph of Chapter 5 of this story: Can't say it makes me giggle, though. It just tends to remind me I'm reading another @Topher Lydon story. 😉
