Re: Chapter 15: For Whom the Bugle Blows
Jake fell silent for a moment, clearly considering what Winters and Haverty had just said. After a moment he nodded to the both of them.
"'Preciate it, gents. I'm partial to stickin' with the group that's goin' with Cole, so here's what I'd like to do -- I'll turn Ghost over to your care, Pete. Take him back to The Flat with you, an' git him healthy again. That'll most likely take a little while."
"Then, Mister Winters, if'n you've got a way to git him out to 'Frisco -- assumin' that I make it out thaere myself -- I'll take you up on yer offer."
"I'll send a wire from 'Frisco, to let y'all know that I made it."
"So, then . . . I reckon that I need to settle up with you, Pete, for Ghost's care an' feedin'."
