Synopsis: A woman travels to a small town in Nevada to become the bride of a man she hardly knows. She has no idea how he’ll react to her appearance and when he finally arrives outside of the bar where she’s waiting, he is in the shadows. This is a wonderful love story full of love and faith in humanity, and the Lord.
Lola Willcox was not surprised when the two men a few rows ahead of her turned, regarded her, and then laughed. She sat upright and tried not to look at them. Looking at them, she thought, would vindicate their laughing. It would turn their laughing into something real, from something fake. It would give their laughing a credibility that it didn’t deserve. But it was difficult.
They looked at her stump, she knew. They looked at the sleeve of her dress, pinned to her shoulder, and then giggled like schoolboys. She turned instead to the Nevada waste—to the miles and miles of dusty, tumbleweed land. The train of the Central Pacific Railroad – newly built – rocked and shook along the tracks. Lola kept her bag between her legs, and every so often used her one good arm to brace herself.
Once, she almost fell and the two men let out strong guffaws. She closed her eyes and imagined she was back in Bristol with Mother and Father, and she imagined that she was in the corner of their one-room five-person lodging. She closed her eyes and heard Mother’s voice, telling her that she was no different to anybody else—that she needn’t be embarrassed, that she didn’t have to skulk in the shadows. But, Mother’s voice was overridden by the hooting men.
The men’s voices, poorly quieted, came to her.
"What unlucky man has to deal with that?" one said, giggling.
"I would rather make with the devil than with that," the other said, to the mirth of his friend.
Lola shook her head sadly and ignored the men, ignored their pointless insults. Why, in life, must some people be so cruel? It is because that’s all they know, my sweet, Mother’s voice said into Lola’s mind. They have suffered greatly and so they must make others suffer. It is all they know. You could be the nicest, most normal girl in the world and they would still ridicule you. Why? Because they are sad, lonely, pointless men. And sad, lonely, pointless men know nothing else.
Lola tried to take refuge in these warm hugs of words, but they weren’t true, were they? If she had had two arms, these men wouldn’t be laughing at her. It didn’t matter that she was a pretty woman. Many men had shown interest before the accident. Many men had courted and a few had even offered to marry her.
But then the factory had beckoned, and the sharp metal, and she had emerged—broken. She looked out again at the dusty landscape. Nevada rolled upon in itself in great swathes of dust and emptiness. Little critters ran between the sparse greenery, and as Lola watched, a bird darted – head-first – from the heavens and landed, talons extended, on some unsuspecting creature.
There was a mess of dust and rocky debris and then the bird ascended, creature in talons.
"Does she even know how strange she appears to the normal man?" the first man went on.
I’m sure she does,
the other said sagely. "She must. How does she get dressed? That’s what I want to
