- Roscoe found that he had a headache, and listening to Peach made it worse.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “I can find Texas,” he said. “The point is, kin I find July?” “He’s riding with a boy, and he’s going to San Antonio,” Peach said. “I guess if you ask around, someone will have seen them.” “Yeah, but what if I miss ’em?” Roscoe asked.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- Peach had a habit of misunderstanding people, even when the point was most obvious.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “Of course she’s still gone,” Peach said. “And you’re drunk on the job. Get up from there and go get July.” “But July went to Texas,” Roscoe said. “The only place I’ve ever been to is Little Rock, and it’s in the other direction.” “Roscoe, if you can’t find Texas you’re a disgrace to your profession,” Peach said.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- It was very upsetting, for it seemed to him the day had started out with Peach and Charlie staring down at him. In hisconfusion it occurred to him that he might have dreamed the whole business about Elmira running off. Only there were Peach and Charlie again; the dream might be starting over. He wanted to wake up before it got to the part about the whiskey barge, but it turned out he was awake, after all.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “If you ain’t up to getting the woman, then you better go get July,” she said. “He might want his wife back before she gets up there somewhere and gets scalped.” She then marched off, much to Roscoe’s relief. He went in and took a drink or two from a bottle of whiskey he kept under his couch and usually only used as a remedy for toothache. He was careful not to drink too much, since the last thing he needed was for the people in Fort Smith to get the notion he was a drunk. But then, the next thing he knew, despite his care, the whiskey bottle was empty, and he seemed to have drunk it, although it did not feel to him like he was drunk. In the still heat he got drowsy and went to sleep on the couch, only to awake in a sweat to find Peach and Charlie Barnes staring down at him.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- It took no more than a walk to the river to confirm what Peach had suspected. Old Sabin, the ferryman, had seen a woman get on the whiskey boat the morning it left.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- It was the only logical explanation. No stage had passed through in the last week. A troop of soldiers had come through, going west, but soldiers wouldn’t have taken Elmira. The boat had been filled with whiskey traders, headed up for Bents’ Fort. Roscoe had seen a couple of the boatmen staggering on the street, and when the boat had left with no fights reported, he had felt relieved. Whiskey traders were rough men—certainly not the sort married women ought to be traveling with.“You better go see what you can find out, Roscoe,” Peach said. “If she’s run off, July’s gonna want to know about it.” That was certainly true. July doted on Elmira.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “I bet she took that whiskey boat,” Peach said. In fact, a boat had headed upriver only a day or two after July left.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “Well, where’s the tracks, then?” Peach asked. “If a bear came around, all the dogs in this town would have barked, and half the horses would have run away. If you ask me, Elmira’s the one that run away.” “My God,” Roscoe said again. He knew he was going to get blamed, no matter what.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “There’s no need to swear, Roscoe,” Peach said. “We all seen it coming. July’s a fool or he wouldn’t have married her.” “It could have been a bear, though,” Roscoe said. All of a sudden, it seemed the lesser of two evils. If Elmira was dead July might eventually get over it—if she had run off, there was no telling what he might do.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “My God, Peach,” he said, feeling stunned.
“我的天哪，桃子，”他说，感到震惊。>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇- “Left to go where?” he said. “Left to do what?” “Roscoe, you ain’t got the sense God gave a turkey,” Peach said, abandoning her good manners. “If she left, she just left—left. My guess is she got tired of living with July.” That was such a radical thought that merely trying to think it gave Roscoe the beginnings of a headache.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “He means we think she’s left,” Peach said.
“他的意思是，我们认为她已经离开了，”皮奇说。>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇- Peach looked disgusted. “Of course she had shoes on,” she said. “She wasn’t that crazy.” “Well, I don’t see no shoes in this cabin, men’s or women’s,” Roscoe said. “If she’s gone, I guess she wore ’em.” They went out and walked around the cabin. Roscoe was hoping to find a trail, but there were weeds all around the cabin, wet with dew, and all he did was get his pants legs wet. He was growing more and more uneasy—if Elmira was just in hiding from Peach he wished she’d give up and come out. If July came back and found his new wife missing, there was no telling how upset he’d be.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “There ain’t nothing up there but a pallet,” Peach said.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “She mostly sat in the loft,” Roscoe said, mainly to hear himself talk. Hearing himself was better than hearing Peach.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- Roscoe decided to go at once to keep from having to hear Charlie Barnes repeat himself all morning. He tipped his hat to Peach and started for the cabin, but to his dismay Peach and Charlie stayed right at his heels. It disturbed him to have company, but there was nothing he could do about it. It seemed to him curious that Peach would take Elmira dumplings, for the two women were known not to get along; it crossed his mind that Elmira had seen Peach coming and gone into hiding.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “Why, I’ll go have a look,” he said. “Maybe she just went visiting.” “Who Would she visit?” Peach asked. “She ain’t been out of that cabin more than twice since July married her. She don’t know the names of five people in this town. I was just going to take her some dumplings, since July is gone off. If I hadn’tdone it I doubt she would have even been missed.” From her tone Roscoe got the clear implication that he had been remiss in his duty. In fact, he had meant to look in on Elmira at some point, but the time had passed so quickly he had forgotten to.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “I don’t either, but I ain’t a man,” Peach said, giving Charlie Barnes a hard look. Roscoe thought it unlikely that Charlie wanted Elmira. It might be that he didn’t even want Peach.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “If she wandered off, anything could have got her,” Peach said. “Could have been an animal or it could have been a man.” “Why, Peach, I don’t know why a man would want her,” Roscoe said, only to realize that the remark probably sounded funny. After all, Peach was related to her.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- Roscoe got up from his comfortable seat. If Elmira was indeed gone, that constituted a serious problem. Peach and Charlie stood there as if they expected him to do something, or tell them right off where she had gone.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “Maybe she just don’t want to answer the door,” he said. “She takes a lot of naps.” “Nope, I went in and looked,” Peach said. “There ain’t a soul in that cabin, and there wasn’t yesterday, neither.” “We think she’s gone,” Charlie Barnes said again. He was not a talkative man.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- “That’s what I thought yesterday,” Peach said. “She wasn’t there yesterday and she ain’t there today. I doubt she’d take no overnight walk.” Roscoe had to admit it was unlikely. The nearest town, Catfish Grove, was fourteen miles away, and not much of a destination at that.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
- Peach and Charlie didn’t answer, and a silence fell.>> Lonesome Dove 孤鸽镇
