Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The Gang brings Ada to a high point. Ada thinks she was brought to the view to spot all the hiding places, but the Kid tells Ada that the land is fruitful and theirs. The Kid quotes Bible verses and argues that even though none of the Gang can produce heirs and a lineage, they will still create nations.
Elzy, the Kid, and Ada wait for the carriage they plan to rob. When they come across it, the Kid and Elzy hold the guard and the driver at gunpoint while Ada searches the back for money, placing the heavy bundles on the horses’ backs. Ada feels frightened, unsure of what to do if something goes wrong. When the young guard becomes uncooperative, the older driver begs him to calm down. The guard approaches Elzy while the Kid watches him intently. Ada, sensing that the guard is close enough to Elzy to take her gun, shoots the guard in the leg. He bends down in pain, retrieves a hidden pistol from his boot, and shoots—only for the Kid to quickly shoot him dead. The driver cradles the dead guard, which makes Ada realize that the driver is the guard’s father.
