Maybe his killer would feel sorry and visit the grave. A long shot, sure, but you never know." </p><p></p><p>Eaton leads Chester to Boot Hill. After walking down the rows of simple grave markers, they reach the final resting place of Gus Thomas. Eaton clears his throat and say, "Here we are, Deputy. I've got patients to see back at the office, so I'll leave you be. Good day." </p><p></p><p>Chester replies, "Thanks. You too." After Eaton leaves, he looks around and doesn't see anything unusual.

"Harry, can I ask you some questions about the murdered miner, Gus Thomas?" </p><p></p><p>"I'm not sure what I can tell you, but go ahead." </p><p></p><p>"Did you see Thomas with Colin Turner? That strange man who's been bothering Ruby."</p><p></p><p>"Well, being that Gus was from out of town, here for the festival from what I understand, I didn't know him from a hole in the wall, but that Turner guy was in here the night before they found the body.” Harry paused for a minute. “I thought I remember sitting with somebody who might have matched Gus's description but that might be my mind playing tricks at this point. Is that Turner guy still around? I was figuring either business would be scarce 'cause everybody would be scared away or we'd be booming since everyone wanted to see what was going on with their own eyes."</p><p></p><p>"I haven't heard one way or the other.

She found the elven woman mixing one of the countless batters she used during the day. Dorita turned as Kate stepped inside. "Look at you, you look like you no sleep! Mr. Ringo is dead, you should sleep good now. I make you tea to help you sleep."</p><p></p><p>"I just had a nap. I'm alright, really. I'll be as good as new tomorrow.” Kate picked up one of the cookies Ginnie was so fond of and nibbled. ”Do you remember the man who asked after me the other night? A Mr. Turner? If you don't mind, if he should ask for me again, would you please tell him I am not available to him?"</p><p></p><p>Dorita stumbles a bit as she speaks "Ohh, but Miss Kate, he is so nice. He say many nice things about you and he loves my cooking" she says blushing a bit. "No, I no lie to that man, I no lie to anybody. If you not here then I tell him you no here. I can tell him you no want to see him, but I no lie to him."</p><p></p><p>"I didn't mean to lie, Dorita. I keep forgetting things aren't the same here as they were in Boston. That I do not want to see him is exactly what I meant, and it is fine to tell him that. He is a very charming man, and I'm sure he said many nice things. But he does not mean me well. I think it's best to stay way from him." </p><p></p><p>Kate turned to leave, then turned back. "What <em>did</em> he say about me?" she asked, her curiosity winning out.</p><p></p><p>Dorita's sullen look changes to an excited one. "He say many good things. He say you beautiful and smart. He say you play piano very nice and he like to hear you play. He say you do the right thing with Ginnie and you make a good teacher."</p><p></p><p>"He does his research. I thought he would be too wrapped up in his fascination with Ruby to find out about me." Kate shook her head and said more clearly, "Well, he will just have to do without seeing me again. I can't prevent him from coming into the Lucky Lady, but I can keep from seeing him here. He's not to see Ginnie either, please. Thank you, Dorita."</p><p></p><p>Katherine left Dorita in the kitchen, unsure if she had learned anything. Colin Turner always seemed to leave a string of breathless women in his wake, but that didn't mean he was using his influence. </p><p></p><p>She went back up to her room. Ginnie was off on her lunch run and the room was quiet. Kate looked at Tom's picture. She talked to him every night knowing he heard her, but there was only so much comfort to be found when he couldn't talk back. It was obvious even to Kate how she had isolated herself. Even as she spent time with others she was keeping them away, and now she wasn't even sure if she could trust those she thought she had let in. </p><p></p><p>There were a few hours yet before she had to meet the others at the Lucky Lady, and she still needed that bath.
