Ford lifted his arms above his head to yawn as does a man who has slept too heavily, found his biceps stiffened and sore, and massaged them gingerly with his finger-tips. His eyes took on the vacancy of memory straining at the leash of forgetfulness. He sighed largely, swung his head slowly from left to right in mute admission of failure to grasp what lay just behind his slumber, and thereby discovered other muscles that protested against sudden movement.

Produktbeschreibung
Ford lifted his arms above his head to yawn as does a man who has slept too heavily, found his biceps stiffened and sore, and massaged them gingerly with his finger-tips. His eyes took on the vacancy of memory straining at the leash of forgetfulness. He sighed largely, swung his head slowly from left to right in mute admission of failure to grasp what lay just behind his slumber, and thereby discovered other muscles that protested against sudden movement. He felt his neck with a careful, rubbing gesture. One hand strayed to his left cheekbone, hovered there tentatively, wandered to the bridge of his nose, and from there dropped inertly to the bed. "Lordy me! I must have been drunk last night," he said aloud, mechanically taking he straight line of logic from effect to cause, as much experience had taught him to do.
Autorenporträt
Margaret Muzzy American author Sinclair of Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 - July 23, 1940), better known by the pen name B. M. Bower specialized in producing works of fiction about the American Old West. Her works, which depict cowboys and cows from the Montana Flying U Ranch, showed "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for contrast, a sense of the western landscape as both harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting." She married three men: Bertrand William Sinclair, a Western author, in 1905; Clayton Bower in 1890; and Robert Elsworth Cowan in 1921. But she decided to go by Bower when she published.
