Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mystery at the Carrol Ranch: A Story of the Southwest
Despite her sixty odd years, Mrs. Eas ton's eyes were keen, and she turned from a momentary inspection of the far-off speck with a sniff of contempt. Some cowboy ridin' his horse to death, as usual, was her inward conclusion. Beats all that one of the critters can never go anywhere - no, not as far as the post office after a postage stamp - without ridin' full tilt, as if his time was too precious to be wasted in goin' at a decent gait. And, with a last complacent look at her morning-glories, she turned back into the house. In the dining-room she found her grand daughter, sixteen-year-old Nora Carrol. Nora had an array of bright-hued bits of print spread out on the table and was busily engaged in matching them. The ultimate outcome of the matching was destined to be a piece quilt, such as Mrs. Easton, who had instigated the industry.
