Saturday Snippet: He Definitely Was Under Pressure

The following snippet is taken from

Kate's Railroad Chef 

Train Wreck in Jubilee Springs

Book 3 

 

            This night, Garland definitely felt under pressure. Repeatedly, townspeople from Jubilee Springs as well as Monarch Bend located ten miles from the rail line came to his window asking when the train would arrive. He increasingly found himself gritting his teeth in order to maintain a calm, professional manner as he repeated what he knew, which was next to nothing. Among those who had appeared before him was Royce Bainbridge, the Prosperity Mine owner in charge of dealing with the brides coming for the miners. Garland could not think of a worse weekend for the newest bunch of brides, along with the woman from the bridal agency, to make the trip into Jubilee Springs.

            Then again, there was no guarantee that train travel in these mountains over the next several months would be any better.

            He also recognized Annie Flanagan, the woman who came to town to work as a maid for the Nighy family. Since she did not read or write, several weeks earlier he helped her write a letter to her sister. Annie encouraged her to choose the marriage prospect in Jubilee Springs so the two could live close to each other. Garland realized her sister, Kate, must have accepted Michael O’Hare’s marriage proposal and was due in on this train.
