THE NAME TEDDY FLOOD’S AS WELL KNOWN AROUND THESE PARTS AS MUCH AS HECTOR ESCATON OR WYATT. Everybody knows or knows of Teddy Flood, be it for the right reason or the wrong reason, you couldn’t be sure. People say a lot of bad things about Teddy, but from what Clara’s come to see & know, he seems a sweet, genuine man. A rare thing in this town.
It’s something of a rarity to find him unaccompanied. He’s very popular with the Newcomers -- on her morning walks she often spots him with a band of merry men or with his sweetheart, Dolores. Harriet had been whisked away from her prematurely this morning, & with Bronson back at home she could use the company. Maybe he’d be keen for some, too.
“ Mornin’, Teddy -- all by yer lonesome this lovely day? ”
