Ruth Shimmer carries two revolvers: one shoots lead, the other shoots curses and accidents. Joshua Redman's revolvers are the most ordinary, but he has a guardian angel, or maybe not an angel at all. When Ruth and Josh first met, a heavy chandelier fell on the guy. Wild West, sir, what happens here! Here, traveling agents buy sparks from Indians and Chinese emigrants - tiny useless miracles, and financiers and industrialists peddle their luck like a public whore. The Old World is on fire. He went crazy a long time ago, becoming unsuitable for life. But the New World still holds on! Pitted with back passages, like wormholes, from which all sorts of dirty tricks creep in, the Wild West puts its hat on the back of its head and is ready to shoot at everything that moves. What is that moving there, sir?
