Summary
As his fellows emptied the safe, Tozer found the watch where it was safely tucked away in his breast pocket. He unhooked it from where it was pinned to the fabric and took it into his palm, chain spooling though his fingers. The other hand settled too comfortably on Edward’s hip.
“Well, Edward,” Tozer said lightly, voice lazy. “This has been fun.”
“I most certainly disagree,” he replied. “You are liar and a killer.”
A thumb drew small circles over the thin fabric of his shirt, exposed by his open vest. “And a thief. Don’t forget that.”
Four hours from Greenhithe, a man came onto the train.

Summary
A shot rang out; instinctively, he flattened himself against Feather’s neck, turning his head towards the sound. In the street, pistol flashing in the sun, stood Little, determined as ever. “Tozer!”
“Why,” he crowed. “It’s Crozier’s little deputy!”
“It’s Deputy Little,” the other man said flatly.
Slowly, he let one hand slip off the reins, reaching down to where his rifle was holstered to the saddle. “Oh, I’m aware,” smirked Tozer, as the deputy sheriff frowned. “You gonna bring me in this time, lawman?”
“In chains, if I have to,” Little said.
When lawmen track down Cornelius Hickey's gang in Hobart, Texas, Solomon Tozer jumps off a roof, gets shot, falls off his horse, kisses a man, and then some.

Summary
With a bang, the door flew open at John's shout and two men came stumbling inside. They were soaked to the skin and their military uniforms, black with rainwater and misery, marked them as army men. One had a rifle slung over his shoulder and his cap was crooked over his wet hair; the other was missing his hat along with part of his skull, a bloody wound rending open the skin and bone of his forehead.
“Help me,” begged the soldier.
During a spring thunderstorm, an army sergeant and a dying man seek refuge in John Irving's church.
