Excerpt from Jerry Peyton's Notched Inheritance: A Western Story When the doctor told Hank Peyton that he was about to die, Hank took another drink and closed the secret inside his thin lips, but when, on the third morning following, he fell back on his bed in a swoon after pulling on his boots, Hank lay for a long time looking at the dirty boards of the ceiling until his brain cleared. Then he called for his tall son and said: "Jeremiah, I'm about to kick out." Jerry Peyton was as full of affection as any youth in the town of Sloan, but the regime of his father had so far schooled him in restraining his emotions that now he lighted a match and a cigarette and inhaled the first puff before he answered: "What's wrong?" "That's my concern and not yours, " the father said truthfully. "Further'n that, I didn't call you in here for an opinion. The doctor give me that three days ago, Jeremiah."
