Belle Starr ejaculated, acting as if she had expected a response to the tug she had given upon the bell cord hanging down from a corner of the expensively furnished sitting-room in the mansion to which she had brought an intended victim. “Aunt Selena-Mae’s servants have already left for their night off!” For once, while engaged upon an illicit activity, the lady outlaw was not making use of a wig. Such an aid to altering her appearance was not needed for the character she had created. Despite being without a hat of any kind, the shortness of her brunette hair taken with the severe lines of her plain blue blouse and black skirt, was helping to give credence to the part she was playing. Having carried out her departure from Fort Worth without further difficulty, Belle had not taken the shortest route to Austin. Instead, she had made her way from one gathering place for outlaws to another, so as to renew acquaintance ships and get to know the current state of affairs with regards to criminal activities in Texas.
