It
’
s
broken
him
;
oh
,
you
should
see
him
,
you
should
see
him
.
A
shambling
,
stooping
,
trembling
old
man
,
in
his
dotage
already
.
He
sits
all
day
in
the
dining
-
room
,
turning
over
papers
,
sorting
them
,
tying
them
up
,
opening
them
again
,
forgetting
them
—
all
fumbling
and
mumbling
and
confused
.
And
at
table
sometimes
he
forgets
to
eat
.
And
,
listen
,
you
know
,
from
the
house
we
can
hear
the
trains
whistling
for
the
Long
Trestle
.
As
often
as
that
happens
the
Governor
seems
to
be
—
oh
,
I
don
’
t
know
,
frightened
.
He
will
sink
his
head
between
his
shoulders
,
as
though
he
were
dodging
something
,
and
he
won
’
t
fetch
a
long
breath
again
till
the
train
is
out
of
hearing
.
He
seems
to
have
conceived
an
abject
,
unreasoned
terror
of
the
Railroad
.
”
“
But
he
will
have
to
leave
Los
Muertos
now
,
of
course
?
”
“
Yes
,
they
will
all
have
to
leave
.
They
have
a
fortnight
more
.
The
few
tenants
that
were
still
on
Los
Muertos
are
leaving
.
That
is
one
thing
that
brings
me
to
the
city
.
The
family
of
one
of
the
men
who
was
killed
—
Hooven
was
his
name
—
have
come
to
the
city
to
find
work
.
I
think
they
are
liable
to
be
in
great
distress
,
unless
they
have
been
wonderfully
lucky
,
and
I
am
trying
to
find
them
in
order
to
look
after
them
.
”
“
You
need
looking
after
yourself
,
Pres

“
Oh
,
once
away
from
Bonneville
and
the
sight
of
the
ruin
there
,
I
’
m
better
.
But
I
intend
to
go
away
.
And
that
makes
me
think
,
I
came
to
ask
you
if
you
could
help
me
.
If
you
would
let
me
take
passage
on
one
of
your
wheat
ships
.
The
Doctor
says
an
ocean
voyage
would
set
me
up
.
”
“
Why
,
certainly
,
Pres
,
”
declared
Cedarquist
.
“
But
I
’
m
sorry
you
’
ll
have
to
go
.
We
expected
to
have
you
down
in
the
country
with
us
this
winter
.
”
Presley
shook
his
head
.
“
No
,
”
he
answered
.
“
I
must
go
.
Even
if
I
had
all
my
health
,
I
could
not
bring
myself
to
stay
in
California
just
now
.
If
you
can
introduce
me
to
one
of
your
captains
—
”
“
With
pleasure
.
When
do
you
want
to
go
?
You
may
have
to
wait
a
few
weeks
.
Our
first
ship
won
’
t
clear
till
the
end
of
the
month
.
”
“
That
would
do
very
well
.
Thank
you
,
sir
.
