Chapter 7: Getting to Know Each Other) He's so pretty, Buck. How long have you had him? Since before I joined the Express. He's sweet. He likes you, Rose. He's kind of like you, Buck.
He's got common sense and he knows who to trust. I knew you were a person that Daisy and I could trust from the moment I saw you. Did you join the Express acter you left the orphanage? Yes, I did. Emma told me all about you when I found her yesterday. I have have a picture of Ike with me if you'd like to see it. What were your parents names? My mother's name was Lucy and my papa's was Thomas. When Papa died, I almost hated Lynch. But then I remembered that Papa wouldn't want me to. He was right, Rose. You shouldn't let Lynch cloud the memory of your father. He may have killed your father; but he can't destroy your memories of him. So what do you love to do? I love to ride, I love reading, too. And sometimes I would go to the dance in town with Papa. I remember playing with Ike when I was younger. It was almost like I had a brother of my own. What color hair did Ike have before he had scarlet fever? It was the same color mine is. And you look almost exactly like him, Rose. That's what Papa said, too. Daisy has blue eyes, but she got her golden hair from Mama. Would you like to go for a ride tomorrow, Rose? Yes; I would, Buck. Goodnight, Rose. Goodnight,Buck. And thank-you again, Rise said as she went inside.
