  Paladin : In that case, my fee will be $2,000.

  Paladin : Well, I suppose every boom town has a Gloria Morgan as a sort of symbol of its success.

  Colonel Lathrop : As I understand it, she was a great deal more than that. Gloria Morgan was the high priestess of a cult made drunk by wine and sudden wealth. She was beautiful, mysterious, exotic, exciting, sort of a living flame.

• Colonel Lathrop : It's just a sleepy little cattle town now, my dear. But during the silver boom, it was a roaring mining camp.
