Adding to the Hoss and Millie series. (Sourdoughs in story order – October 2018, February 2020, April 2020, December 2019) This follows the December Sourdough.<\/p>\n

Not all the Cartwrights are doing well in the romance department.
\nDecember 2019 Sourdough:
\nMaking the Match<\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m telling you this is an impossible task. I put my hand in and he nearly bit it off. You will never get them together, much less by the Ponderosa Christmas party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh ye of little faith. Do you doubt my skills as a matchmaker or as a woman, Adam?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would never doubt your skills as a woman, Dolly, but you\u2019ve been warned. I think you will have met your match in my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPah, just eat your pie. Here he comes. Let me see what happens for myself, then we shall see if you\u2019ll be eating your words along with that pie, dearie.\u201d<\/p>\n

****<\/p>\n

\u201cEvening, Hoss. I\u2019m glad to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvenin\u2019 Miss Millie. Think I\u2019ll have some pie an\u2019 coffee, an\u2019 sit here by the window.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUh, sure Hoss.\u201d<\/p>\n

****<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s it? He eats the pie, drinks his coffee, and leaves?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou saw their eyes, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf two people needed to be together, it\u2019s those two.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, time to get to work. Just leave everything to me. And don\u2019t say \u2018yep\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

\u201cThis note came for you my dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Aunt Clemmie. \u2018Dear Millie, I don\u2019t know what I was thinking yesterday. I wanted to invite you to have pie with me but, well, I was too nervous. After the dance last month, my brothers said it only takes a moment to meet the right gal, and I had that moment with you. Can we meet on Saturday for another piece of pie and talk? – Hoss Cartwright\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my, this is wonderful. I\u2019ll wear my pink dress, wear my hair down , and hang ribbons down my back.\u201d<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you got there, brother?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like a note for me.\u201d \u2018My dearest Hoss. I keep thinking about how much fun I had at the Harvest Dance, and sure do miss being with you. Would you come on Saturday for more pie? – Millicent O\u2019Connor\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, ain\u2019t that somethin\u2019. I was feelin\u2019 rather bad about last night at the cafe. Now it seems I got a chance to make things right. Guess I\u2019ll be headin\u2019 to town tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter put on your Sunday clothes, brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight. Thanks Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

\u201cGoodness Hoss, why did you come out after all the snow we got?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, this snow wouldn\u2019t have kept me away. I just had to meet you here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got warm apple pie and hot coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds mighty fine, Miss Millie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Hoss, just call me Millie, please?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUh, Millie, before I forget. Would you like to come to our Christmas party at the Ponderosa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d love to Hoss. That is if you\u2019ll be my escort?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh shucks. Of course I will.\u201d<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t give me that look, Dolly Levi. I will never doubt your matchmaking skills again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve been dancing the entire time. Ahem, looks like Hoss spied the mistletoe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, Hoss has been seeing her so much he\u2019s hardly been around to get any work done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that a complaint, Adam? You did ask for my help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no. No complaint. I\u2019m thrilled to finally see them together. Pa and Joe are betting on an announcement from them quite soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it takes a woman to get things moving before the parade passes by. So what about us, Adam?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about us?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe you owe me for my help in getting them together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, well, look up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou sly devil. I\u2019ll accept the kiss for now. But you know my fee is much higher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you\u2019ve reminded me a few times. We\u2019ll discuss that later. May I have this dance, Miss Levi?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be my pleasure, Mister Cartwright.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2020 May Sourdough:
\nIt’s Complicated<\/p>\n

Taking a break by an old oak tree, Adam and Joe dug into the Hop Sing\u2019s fried chicken. They\u2019d spent all morning at a neighboring ranch selling some cattle and selecting some breeding horses for their own herd. Hoss was settling the price for the cattle and would join his brothers soon enough, so Joe and Adam quickly got their chicken before their middle brother had a chance to claim his.<\/p>\n

Finishing off one chicken leg, Adam gave Joe a sidelong glance then reached for another leg. His younger brother had been unusually quiet all morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s got you so quiet today? We\u2019ve picked out some fine horses. I\u2019d expect you to be excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe tossed down the remnant of his chicken and sighed. Glancing around and noting that Hoss was still busy, Joe turned toward Adam. \u201cI\u2019ve just been thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes that much effort, huh?.\u201d Adam went back for a bigger piece of chicken.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch it. Anyway, Hoss and Millie are finally courting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor several months now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cQuit interrupting me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry. Go on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyway, you know I\u2019ve been seeing someone in town.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, since the Christmas party. Is it getting serious?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMight be. But that\u2019s not what I\u2019ve been thinking about. It all made me wonder what\u2019s going on with you and Dolly. You two seemed a good match last fall when you were helping Hoss and Millie, but now you don\u2019t say much about her.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a long silence, Joe risked a glance at his brother in time to see his face go dark. \u201cSorry, didn\u2019t mean to intrude.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s just that it\u2019s complicated, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n

About that time Hoss wandered over and dug into what was left of the chicken. \u201cWe got a good price for the cattle. Adam, you paid for them horses yet? I wanna get home soon as I promised Millie I\u2019d take her to dinner tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe saw another dark look from Adam which Hoss totally missed.<\/p>\n

Adam rose abruptly and muttered sullenly, \u201cI\u2019ll see to the horses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoss\u2019s head snapped up with a frown. \u201cDid I miss somethin\u2019? What made his mood go south?\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe eyed his elder brother. \u201cIt\u2019s complicated.\u201d Leaving Hoss to his lunch, Joe jogged over to join Adam and the ranch owner.<\/p>\n

—-<\/p>\n

Late in the night, Adam silently moved around his room packing a couple of bags. By dawn he was on his way to Virginia City to catch the early stage to San Francisco. When Joe awoke he found a note on his nightstand.<\/p>\n

Gone to SF to settle some business. Thanks for the nudge.. Oh, and pick up Sport from the livery.<\/p>\n

~A<\/p>\n

Joe found himself caught between a frown and a smile. He finally settled on good thoughts for his brother to settle things with Dolly, hopefully for the best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

expansion of the August 2019 sourdough:
\n<\/strong>On a break from their work, Joe asked Adam about their house guest. \u201cDoes it bother you what people are saying? I mean, her husband was hanged for murder, and now she\u2019s staying here as your guest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will always talk, and in this case, it\u2019s rubbish. William Darnell didn\u2019t kill anyone. He was set up. Mary probably isn\u2019t safe either until this whole business about who gets to own those mining rights is settled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she\u2019s not safe, then neither are you. You\u2019re the executor of his will. That puts you in charge of his share of the mining rights for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am well aware of that. There are times I feel like I have a target on my back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing about it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot a lot I can do. Roy is looking into things as much as he can. We have our lawyer checking things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Pa knows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, that\u2019s why I keep getting sent to work with you or Hoss. He thinks I need to be protected.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you ought to take a lot more precautions than you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe, I can\u2019t live my life scared of every shadow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those words proved to be wrong. Adam went to take care of business that evening and didn\u2019t return to the house. After a half hour, his father and brothers were concerned and Hoss stepped out to call his name. There was no answer. A general search found nothing. A manhunt began. It was their good fortune that one of their men had recently gotten a dog and was training him to track and hunt. He found Adam\u2019s trail in the dark. They found him in a thicket where no one would have been able to see him easily even in daylight. He was badly beaten. If he had been left there until the next day, exposure added to his injuries might have caused his death.<\/p>\n

As it was, he felt reasonably well after a week and was willing to take a carriage ride to town with his father. They wanted to meet with Roy and with their lawyer. That didn\u2019t end well either. They had not gone far before they were ambushed. It was their good fortune that sunlight reflected off their assailant\u2019s rifle and gave them warning. Ben veered off the road with the carriage as Adam pulled the rifle from beneath the seat. The exchange of gunfire brought Ponderosa hands riding in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened, Mister Cartwright?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone shot at us. I think it might have been the new man, Ringo. Whoever it was, the shots came from there.\u201d Ben pointed at the place in the trees where the shots had originated. If it was Ringo, these men would overtake him. He couldn\u2019t ride well enough to elude them.<\/p>\n

One of the men must have gone to alert Hoss and Joe because they arrived at the house about the same time as the other men brought Ringo back. He wasn\u2019t in the best condition. The men explained that he had resisted their efforts. Ringo was going to argue when Ben said he shouldn\u2019t as that could be a cause for the men to teach him some manners. Ben was still upset that the man had tried to kill them and asked him about that rather forcefully. Ringo never got a chance to answer because Adam was once again seated on the porch next to Mary who had come back out with Hop Sing who was alerted by all the noise.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s one of the men who beat me and left me to die. I didn\u2019t recognize him, but I heard his voice when he told me they were leaving me to die, and the beating started at his order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exercising all of his willpower, Ben didn\u2019t order the men to exact justice directly then. Instead he had some questions. \u201cWho are you working for? Why beat Adam? What did you hope to gain?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of deal are you offering?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeal? You talk, and I won\u2019t let my other sons do to you what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ringo looked at Hoss and Joe who appeared to be angry enough to kill him. It was no act after hearing that this was the man who had tried to murder their brother. Ringo told the whole story of how he had been hired to arrange for men to kill Whittaker and put the blame on Darnell. It was all so his employers could get two larger investment groups out of the way so they could buy into the best deals on the Comstock, raise the prices, and then sell to whomever won the contest to control the mines in Virginia City.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it was all about greed? It was murder for money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never killed anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou tried to kill my son.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got in the way. He would have messed up everything. Besides, we didn\u2019t kill him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou tried because he wanted to do what he could to save an innocent man\u2019s life and then protect his widow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turning to Hoss and Joe, Ben asked if they would take Ringo to town to tell the sheriff the whole sordid story. After that, Ben tried to console Mary. \u201cI hope that helped in some small way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt did in that people will know that William was innocent. They\u2019ll have to live with it. I can walk with my head held high again, and if they say Proud Mary, well then, I am. I\u2019m proud that I have friends like the Cartwrights who stand up for the truth and for justice no matter what the consequences. I\u2019m proud to say my husband didn\u2019t do anything wrong, and all those people who were so self-righteous have to live with their guilt because they can never say that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking her hand, Adam smiled. \u201cThank you, Proud Mary. It is a pleasure being your friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Joe and Hoss went to the Bucket of Blood in Virginia City after finishing their work on the ranch. They had invited Adam to come along but he declined wanting to relax. Joe walked in the saloon and flirted with a few of the saloon girls while Hoss got the drinks. Hoss sat down, slid Joe his drink and rolled his eyes at his little brother. The saloon girl left Joe to go to another paying customer.Joe\u2019s eyes roved around the place and then looked outside seeing a blond walking by. Hoss saw Joe perk up and followed Joe\u2019s line of vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe, what\u2019cha lookin\u2019 at?\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe,\u201d Hoss said louder.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuh?\u201d Joe asked turning to his brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said what are you looking at?\u201d Hoss repeated slowly<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lady out there. Really pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Hoss could tell him to stop, Joe jumped up and followed the woman. Hoss sighed and followed Joe.<\/p>\n

Joe rushed to the woman and began flirting with her. Hoss noticed her ring and gasped. She was a married woman and Joe was flirting with her. He hurried to Joe realizing who she was.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe. Joe, come on let\u2019s go,\u201d Hoss said in a rushed whisper.<\/p>\n

Joe looked at his brother in annoyance then turned back to the woman. Hoss looked at the woman with a tight smile and wanted to say something but Joe never let him get a word in.<\/p>\n

Getting flustered, Hoss leaned close to Joe\u2019s ear and whispered, \u201cJoe, you\u2019re going to get us both thrown in jail.
\nShe\u2019s Senator Wilson\u2019s wife. He\u2019s a very jealous man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Wilson smiled at Hoss and looked at Joe.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamantha, what are you doing with these men?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoss and Joe looked towards the angry voice. Hoss gulped and Joe looked like he was going to be sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamantha, were these men flirting with you?\u201d Senator Wilson demanded.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, they were.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are your names?\u201d Senator Wilson asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoss Cartwright and this is my brother Joe, um, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re Ben Cartwright\u2019s boys, correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoss gulped. \u201cYes, Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCome with me.\u201d The Senator gave them both a dangerous look.<\/p>\n

They followed him to Sheriff Coffee\u2019s office. Hoss felt dread with every step he took. He looked at Joe and knew Joe felt the same.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe, I told you we\u2019d get thrown in jail for chasing after the Senator\u2019s wife,\u201d Hoss complained leaning against the bars.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did I know who she was and that she was married? Heaven help us when Pa finds out,\u201d Joe said looking at the ceiling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
