TOM MIX AND PANCHO VILLA: A Novel Of Mexico And The Texas Border - Plot & Excerpts
Candelario waited for me in Chihuahua City at the Hotel Fermont. He wore a sheepskin coat and dusty trail clothes, and he was polite enough not to comment on the starched newness of my uniform. He had received Hipólito’s wire only ten minutes ago. He explained that the military situation was changing by the hour, and the roads were not quite as safe as they had been a week or two ago. “Don’t worry,” I said. “After Parral I’ll still keep you company. I won’t let any harm come to you.” “Well, now I can sleep nights. But you were quitting. That’s what the chief told me.” “I changed my mind.” “And I thought you had more brains than the rest of us. What made you change your mind?” “I would have missed you, you hairy ape.” “You’re not well, Tomás.” “I’m better than I’ve been in a long time. Listen, do you know what I’ve got to do in Parral?” He scratched his beard. “I know we’ve got to get a sack of gold here, that’s all. As for Parral, I’d just as soon you didn’t tell me, unless you need my help.
