Quiet Town (2013)
““Bearcat Annie’s place?” he asked finally.
“Sure. I’ve seen him going in the back way at night more than once. Not that he’s the only one. I’ve seen some more going in there who’d be real shocked if they thought they’d been seen.”
Dusty was a suspicious young man; he looked for motives beyond the first and most obvious to meet the eye. The woman’s words took him by surprise; he had been sure from Grimwood’s actions that the undertaker was coming from Jenny’s house. The very way Grimwood... acted was enough to make him believe that. Yet it appeared he was wrong, Grimwood was going to Bearcat Annie’s saloon for some reason. There was a solution to it. Grimwood might have been at Jenny’s, making a change from his usual haunt. That he was using the back way into the saloon did not surprise Dusty. Grimwood and those other men Maggie Bollinger mentioned were the sort who would be horrified at the thought of being seen entering a place of sin.MoreLess
