It was soon plain that they were only chasing two men. A day above Horsehead Crossing, as he was plodding along half asleep in the still afternoon, he felt something hit him and immediately put his hand to his side. Then, when the moon came back close to Lonesome Dove, he would step off and walk back home. She was covered with mud, and in the wet, slick grass was proving hard to subdue.

Then he heard a movement behind him, and glanced around quickly, to see if Pea had suddenly decided to take a stroll. He and Joe were on a street in Fort Worth, and that was basically the sum of his knowledge. He's smitten, and that's all there is to it. He knew he wouldn't get much relaxation on the trip because he was traveling with Gus, and Gus talked all the time.
