The girls don’t tell Hattie Mae why they want to hold the Remember When contest, but Hattie Mae loves the idea. Abilene starts to feel like Miss Sadie’s garden belongs to her also, and she is beset by the desire to ask her for an answer about her father. Miss Sadie starts to talk about the Santa Fe steamer as she continues the story.
Devlin, Burton, and the county medical examiner step off of a train, as they know about the influenza ruse. Devlin smugly tells Mrs. Larkin that he knows she wouldn’t have participated in the charade if she’d known. He asks her to dinner, kisses her hand, and says her husband was a fool. Miners must now work double shifts. Devlin is in a punitive mood, and the workers will suffer if they can’t win the bid for the land.
The group meets and counts the money. They have $740, which means they need an additional $260 by noon. Burton comes into Shady’s place and boasts about knowing their plot. A young man no one knows comes in with a briefcase and orders a water from Shady. He pours powder into the water and examines it as it fizzes.
