A Girl of the Plains Country

Excerpt from A Girl of the Plains Country. Hank Pearsall manager of the Three Sorrows Ranch who had driven the sixty miles in to Mesquite to meet the new owners coming all the way from New York looked at her small face with its pointed chin great black eyes under the thatch of dark curls the repressed vitality with which she sat there giving more of an impression of urgency than most people could have given by running and jumping and thought to himself that here was one who would all her life be a little happier or a little more miserable than the average.
