"Says he's an attorney out of Texas. Haven't had any trouble from his crowd yet. They do look a bit down-at-the-heel, though.""Thank you" Jack replies as he takes a pinch of tobacco and tamps and lights his pipe. "Big J you say? Well before I came in to see you I ran into a chap by the name of Kidd. He said that he was riding up to the Big J and would spot me a drink if I rode along and helped him with an errand. I am feeling kind of thirsty right about now, and in the mood to socialise with this Wayne fellow and those others you mentioned. I think I'll take him up on his offer. Do you know anything about him? Should I be watching my back?"
"Inspector, everything we say is sub rosa," Marshal Clary says gravely. "I didn't take down the Cooley-Stinson Gang by giving the chance to hear what I was planning to do. I'd be dead.""I appreciate you taking the time to hear me out Clary. Oh, I would be obliged if you kept what we talked about under your hat for the time being."
"Rosario doesn't speak any English, so you needn't worry on that front. Good luck!"Jack stands up retrieves his warrants, and extends his hand to Clary.
"I don't want my hand tipped, and have them get spooked. I don't speak any Spanish, if you catch my drift?"
