"You ever want to go to Japan, Freckles?" He's got a thought forming in his brain, and it's a better one than most of his usual ones. The more he thinks about it the more he likes it, and it wouldn't even take a con, or at least not too much of one. Yeah, there's an idea brewin' up there.
"Or you ever think about it when you were workin' on that farm?" Workin' on a farm his ass: she might've been, but it ain't why she went to Australia in the first place. He'd put good money on that. But he ain't much in the business of askin' her for no explanations. It's kind of an unspoken agreement they got, and they got it way back when she asked him for a favor that went somethin' like won't someone put that poor US Marshal out of his misery? Of course, he screwed that up just like he screwed up the deal with Duckett but ain't nothin' he could do about that now.
Live and learn. It ain't a bad motto. Man can't learn if he's dead, so it's a lucky thing he ain't.
