    Summary

    Rumor has it there’s something special in the wilderness just beyond New Nevada. In your darkest hour, with your fuel gone and on the last rations of water, cry out for salvation and a voice might answer you. The toll of an iron bell will lead you there.

    The white chapel on a hill.

    But rumors come a dime a dozen on No Man’s Land. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who’s ever seen this chapel. Because rumors are rumors, and you can’t trust those.

    Because sometimes, a town’s best kept secret is best left alone.

    Summary

    "Slowly, the revolver drifts from his forehead. The cool metal barrel grazes over his neck gentle like a caress, down through the swell of his chest and tugs on the button to his dress shirt before slipping over the material."

    Wolfwood makes a flippant remark, and Vash pushes him to the edge.

    Summary

    Contrary to Stede's insistence there was not enough space for two in the bed, not unless they wanted to get very close indeed.

    Summary

    Sailors, sailors, looking for sailors. Stede glances around the cast of characters in the room. Sailors wear stripes! Plenty of that here. But anyone in an official uniform is out. It wouldn’t do to ask a Royal Navy man to join his gang of outlaws and wind up in shackles before he ever sets sail. No, he’s looking for the odd men out. One by one, he eyes the patrons, waiting for instinct to click.

    -

    Five times Stede hired a crew member, and one time he didn’t have a choice.

    Summary

    Cleave the pin (slang, 1595) To bring a man to orgasm.

    It’s a sobering thought for someone facing middle age to wrestle with, this notion one might be less than appealing in bed, and while he’d always known he was no Don Juan, Stede thought himself perfectly adequate in the art of making love. But ‘perfectly adequate,’ when facing the prospect of reuniting with the man that may very well be the love of his life, feels (pathetic, mortifying, distressing) like a quandary.
