Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Faro Nell and Her Friends: Wolfville Stories" by Alfred Henry Lewis is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This work is set in the American West, primarily focusing on the bustling town of Wolfville and its colorful characters, including the central figure, Faro Nell, who seems to embody both charm and strength. The stories delve into the daily lives, adventures, and interactions of the townsfolk, creating a vivid picture of life in this frontier community. The opening of "Faro Nell and Her Friends" introduces us to Dead Shot Baker, a gunman with a soft spot for his wife, who is characterized as both beautiful and haughty. As Dead Shot navigates his relationships with fellow townspeople, including Faro Nell, we see a blend of camaraderie and rivalry. His affection for his wife reveals vulnerabilities that contrast sharply with his tough exterior. The dialogue-rich narrative sets the tone for the book, establishing themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal in a frontier society where personal relationships are often as volatile as the Wild West itself.
