If they could be prevented from killing each other. Perhaps it was more the date than the day which had sapped him of his energy. And we found out that Mr. Stempel has the same father as the Bolts.. Duncan held up his hand for quiet. Oh, thered been lots of times hed badly wanted to plant his fist in the middle of the mans smirking grin. Let go, Bolt!, Using his own momentum, Jason spun him against the wall. How do I balance what he wants from me against the needs of my family? +. Thats not true, Joshua., What about with Sheriff Wade? Aaron rested his chin on the forearms crossed over the back of his chair. But Bridal Veil Mountain itself had never been his true goal. Now Aaron has not only controlling interest, he owns the whole damn pine cone.. Could I resist temptation if I did see her? And his family in Scotland compounded the error. Jason laid a hand on both of his brothers shoulders. Why had he said nothing in all the years as they worked their way to a fragile friendship? He took another swallow of brandy to drown it out. Im sure he wants to prepare for the long trip back to his fort.. But three men ganged up against one was more than he could bear, no matter what the reasons. With a young woman who carried his babe in her arms.. He reacted as if he anticipated my denial. Thinking deep thoughts? Sitting down, she pushed a full mug in front of him to replace the one he hadnt realized hed emptied. So happy, sometimes I think Ill burst with it. Laughing aloud, he vaulted over the railing. Josh and Jason also wore new suits, crisp white shirts and meticulously knotted ties. Chapter 4: Here Comes The Bride. Oh, Jason, the blond brother joined into the laughter as he began to understand. You lost someone you cared about, then our father hurt you again; is that what started this vendetta you have against us?. The only thing he was concerned about was the scandal I might cause. Jeremy hoped Jason knew convincing the other two wouldnt be nearly as easy. You remember that, dont you?. The journal was in his hands again before he knew he intended to pick it up. Which leaves me where Ive always been. You didnt tell us about your plan until you and Stempel had already broken Bass out of jail., I had to get Aaron on our side or they would have lynched Redmond. Jason protested. Thank you for not being offended. Aye. Sophie - best woman.

Jeremy held his breath as he waited for the answer. Oh, but you werent conscious then so you wouldnt remember. Would they want to know? He started across the floor, urgency speeding his feet. Jeremy, what are you really here for?, Jeremy settled on the ground beside him. What if he was offended? Cmon in.. That makes it two to one against. Jason gave his answer as if he was voting for something as inconsequential as what to cook for supper. The confession of what theyd done had been one of the most awful moments of Jeremys life. His work has appeared in Okay Donkey, Milk Candy Review, Little Fiction, Bad Pony and elsewhere. Hows Stempel?, Oh, hell be fine, Jason waved vaguely, his eyes focused on something only he could see. With the proof of Jonathans own journals, Aaron was fairly sure he could win at least a piece of the mountain in a court of law. Im not asking that you forget everything thats happened between us, but can you find some understanding and perhaps a little forgiveness? Im talkin about siccing your loggers on me. Aaron knew in his gut Jason had nothing to do with the attack but at the moment he was willing to say almost anything to get Jason out of his office. Sorry, Lottie.. The diary opened again before he knew he intended to continue reading. Jason gaped, his mouth moving but no sound coming out. Jason would have his hands full keeping these two men from killing each other today. Ive never liked him, he stated baldly. Too prideful of being Scot, we were. I read her words and I want them to be together. Hey!, Men! You Bolts think you own the world. After church and a good meal at Lotties, Sunday was reserved for the small household chores he didnt feel comfortable asking his housekeeper to do. If only Maddie werent so sick, I would accept the consequences of my past mistakes and find a way to bring the boy into my family. Joshua, Jeremy, why dont you escort the colonel back to Lotties. Feeling Jasons gaze upon him, Aaron braced erect. Before he could regain his balance, a second thrust moved him deeper into the corridor between Bens and the apothecarys. Help had arrived. The concept of Aaron being a Bolt brother is still a concept too difficult for me to accept. No, Uncle, I think you should be part of this. But the declaration of guilt, when it was over, had been strangely liberating. I think we should go explain to Mr. Stempel how we feel.. B-b-but its g-g-gonna take some g-g-g-getting used to.. Right here. Josh held out the object in question then carefully tucked it back into his inside jacket pocket. Aye, it was., Pulling the diary from an inner pocket where hed kept it safe from the moisture in the air, Joshua held it out to his uncle. Theyd been able to stop trying to cover up their misdeeds and deal with the solution. Joshua stared at the line. Our father would never have made a baby with another woman when he was engaged to our mother! Jason, Ive waited so long for this. And I care about the Bolt brothers. She kept her head down as she walked up the aisle on Jasons arm. Our strong, beautiful son. When they were well on their way, Jason turned loose of Stempel. Stempel, he was so mad tonight. It seems Mr. Bolt here sent a series of telegrams to my office. He eyed her warily as she pulled back. Ill live my life the way I decide. All right, Lottie, he exhaled. Now they were only blurred scribbles on the page. Even though he had all the windows open, Aarons office felt close and stifling. Jason treated him as an equal, always had. Ive never been able to get a Bolt to shut up yet, Aaron retorted. No, you dont. But they hadnt known and now they had few things they could say, this was my fathers. Here Come the Brides is an American comedy Western series from Screen Gems that aired on the ABC television network from September 25, 1968 to April 3, 1970. He regretted what he said to you. His arm cocked back to hurl this book of lies into the fire where it belonged. Contracted yellow fever crossing the Isthmus. Aaron stepped into the lamplight, his expression unreadable. Reverend Adams turned them to face the congregation. At least I hope we will be after you hear what I have to say., Jeremy, youre not making any sense and its starting to scare me., Im sorry. He wrapped her dainty hand in both of his. Im not asking you to forget what George Stempel did for you. Mirimantos, he pronounced her name carefully. He glanced at Jason for support but found no help in his brothers neutral expression. Aaron had no reason to love the Bolt family. This town seems to have a perpetual party going on. JasonIdamn itNo!. Well, let me take a look anyway. If that had been Bolts plan, hed won. You g-g-g-got the r-ring? Jeremy asked Josh, who would be acting as his best man. How much of this had Jason known or guessed? Despite his attempt at a normal faade, Aaron was obviously walking on the edge tonight. Dont put words in my mouth. He turned away, taking a deep breath to gather control. You cant just stop being Jason Bolt. No one here speaks my tongue or knows the rites of my people. Only your father or the girl could tell you more., Father isnt here to tell us, Jason reminded. Quite learned, his own mother read classic tales to them every night until she became too sick. The trees are up on the mountain. He made me look like a fool in front of the whole town.. Abandoning his quest for the moment, Aaron strode across the room to the new arrival. Well, Mrs. Bolt, shall we make our way to our reception?, Yes, Mr. Bolt, I think thats exactly what we should do.. Joshs head plummeted down onto his crossed arms. Other men needed the assistance of family. I wont ruin our chances by taking a punch at you. He concentrated on putting one foot in front of the other as he made his way to the door. She never made it back to her tribe.. Women loved a man in a uniform, Jason grinned to himself. Now excuse me, I feel the need to wash.. Who he was didnt change just because he now knew how old he really was. Jason heard a muffled squeak of laughter behind him. Itll all work out for the best, Aaron, youll see.. Jeremys grown into a fine young man. Jason was the one who was good with words, not him. I dont know. What you said the other day about making your life count for something did you mean it? reads the dreaming bride. For two days and two nights, Jonathan Bolts journals lay on the mantel of Aarons fireplace untouched. Why did he have to read that damned journal? Jason, she bawled, darting toward them. And a swindler., For which he apologized, Jason interrupted before Aaron could work himself into a lather with the remembrance. You know, if you keep this full, youll be tripping over the drunks before the night is over., Jason, she tittered. Jason groaned as Joshua stepped into the office. Aaron dragged his feet up the path from his house toward Lotties. Joshua snatched at the glass of whiskey beside him. The rigid lines of his shoulders relaxed and he quirked a smile. Damn it all! There might be a way to come close., I know your father kept a journal. The man didnt exhibit the blatant prejudice of the previous night; his insults today were of a much more subtle nature. He took another slug of brandy in an attempt to mute the confusion of feelings welling up in him. No, he made you look inexperienced and too eager to show me up, Jason assured him. Then youll understand.. I waited to eat with you., Thank you, Uncle, Jason grinned as he ladled out the stew. Boy, Aaron snorted. If he could stay on his feet he could possibly inflict enough damage to make the men tire of their game. Reaching up, he pushed an errant lock of hair back off his forehead. Hes a mite small but healthy. I didnt want to believe it either.. Ive known my fathers name since I was old enough to read., Oh, Aaron, she gasped. Nae, lad, it does nae seem possible that you could even have been two. The resounding thud of the book hitting the wall did nothing to satisfy the need in his soul. Handing a glass to each of them, he poured a liberal draught for all. A fire grew in his eyes but it was a muted fire. It hurt to think his father had loved another woman enough to consider leaving his mother, even if they were not yet married. How can you sit down to a game of dominos with a man who just a few weeks earlier hired thugs to beat us up?, Dont you forget a man like him risked his life to try to save yours!, Thats right, throw that in my face again. I want to do whatever I can to help. But he didnt seek that thrill out the way Jason seemed to. But Im afraid this mill doesnt meet with our expectations.. What kind of farce is this?, No game, just a family vote. Jasons gaze pinned him. Ive been waiting Her frown turned real. Once I was sureit took me weeks, Jason approached softly. After a long sleepless night, Jason stormed into Aaron Stempels office without knocking. Keep your hands off me, Bolt. I might not believe it myself if I hadn't written it. Ive always had the impression that she was dead, but now that you mention it, hes never said anything one way or the other. Opening his mouth to say exactly that, he closed it abruptly. He knows all the right facts. In the photograph, the bride looks happy. A when-I-read-about-his-widowed bride. Damned coward. Father may have left us the mountain but we built the logging business ourselves, Josh tried to defend. Great! So hed sought refuge in the one place he knew he still had control. Billy, he gasped in surprise as he recognized the logger. Aaron countered as best he could with the extensive knowledge hed worked years to obtain. Now he appreciated that Aaron could have been the only one to delivered seasoned wood that quickly. Aaron felt a surge of irritation at the way they lounged against his desk but he didnt have the energy to sustain it. Its so strange. Grounding the ax in the stump, he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his face. Just dont make it hard for him change his mind. Now it hardly seemed to matter. They held on for a long moment, then broke apart, each a little misty-eyed. Jeremy scrambled back up to his feet. Suddenly one day he shows up in my office and starts asking all kinds of questions., Josh could see Stempels throat work as he swallowed hard. Could you pour for me? Joshua is at the apothecarys, trying to attract that new lass attention. Today was one day he didnt want to show up with shaving cuts or razor burn. His journal said hed tried to apologize and accept you into the family., Leaning his weight on the window-sill, Stempel shook his head slowly. If they didnt, could he bear it? I keep hearing her.. The millowner had never been the life of a party but neither had he ever hid himself in a corner speaking only when dragged into a conversation. Hes getting married next month to Candy. Immediately, Candy detached herself and hurried to Jeremys side. About the wedding?, No! he rushed to assure her. I dont want your damned apologies, Aaron grunted. "He had a horrible choice to make and no time in which to make it. The writing had improved since the beginning of the diary, but he took little notice. Discovering Aarons secret at this particular time was looking less and less coincidental. You were but a wee bairn. Hooking his ankle on the porch rail, Duncan leaned the chair back against the wall. He remembered days on the voyage around the Horn back from New Bedford that had seemed endless. Why do you think he did that?, I dont know! Now his best efforts only seemed to make the situation worse. But if wed known you were coming we could have thrown a party for you. Even with his white-knuckled grip, he could still see his confusion reflected in his hands appalling tremor. What do you stand to gain?, Aaron shook his head back and forth, his disbelief obvious. I know what you mean about an idea taking on a life of its own. Jason stared just as morosely at the checkerboard in front of him. Kerry Weaver walked into the ER with a huge smile on her face. Snatching a final kiss, he turned and headed for home. This is your day. Because you wanted to hurt him as much as hed hurt you. Nothing! Do you have any doubt in your mind at all that this savage couldnt change your life?, Jason wrapped long arms around Aarons shoulders, tugging him back. My mother was Dwamish., That wasnt mentioned in any of the reports.. Almost like I was peeping in a window., Duncan reached out to tap his hand. Already he loves you even before youve met. Why cant you accept Father cared about you as a son and be a part of our family?. By tradition the gift was given by one of the grooms family. I tried once and what did it get me? This lightens my heart some, but I still long to be back with the women who have been birthing babies in my tribe for more seasons than I have been alive. Jason only gave the journals to you because he knew what torture it would be to read them. Everythings falling apart., Reaching over to the sideboard, she took a bottle of whiskey and poured a healthy jolt into his cup. You dont turn to your family. If I read those books Im just inviting Bolt to kick me in the teeth again. Familys important, Jason. It does nae look like now is a good time to push him. Not because they werent true, but because they were too true for his own comfort. They tussled in the mud, each trying to gain an advantage. Thank you, Uncle. If only I could see a good direction to move., Duncan stole a glance at Joshua. He closed his eyes at the feelings those fingers induced, the deep craving they elicited. ( Read more. She truly did love your father and wanted what was best for him., We offered to raise the bairn as a proper Bolt. Youre the ones who agreed to bet the mountain and you all agreed to the rules.. Thats why IAw, hell. Suddenly he thrust out the box hed been holding all evening. As hed suspected, Lottie stood on his porch when he opened his door. Ive had enough of the Bolt brothers for one day.. My scheme never would have worked without Aaron. The last few days you have seemed rathermelancholy.. Now get out of here. Most of his days were, but today had taken more energy out of him than usual. In his grief we convinced him to fulfill his responsibility by marrying your mother. Jonathan loved the girl. How could he ask what he wanted without Lottie being able to guess what he was talking about? Very late the second night, Aaron picked up the journal of Jonathan Bolt. Your father saw to that.. Before I throw you out.. Or that his father had made that momentous of a mistake. His parentage didnt matter in the mill. Lottie didnt look at all surprised when he pulled her aside. Thats your right and your decision. I didnt think Id ever say this, but I feel awful for Aaron. Even though we have been joined by the ceremony of my people, Jon says we must go back to the land of his birth to be joined before his Gods. Morning, Jason pasted his biggest, most insincere grin on his face. Jason decided it was time to put him out of his misery. Our clans were quite close and our father and hers decided they would be a good match. Stempel arrowed a ferocious glare at him. It couldnt be true. Maybe lets dont, the princess bride says. But when I suggested he might be my sire, he spat in my face, even though he knew it was so. With a dashing bow, Duncan swaggered out the door. Half a dozen loggers loitered within earshot, trying to look like they were working. Wed, Oct 16, 1968 30 mins. But I think its gone too far for that, Aaron. But even with all his attempts at our mountain, I could never hate him. Blank confusion filled Aarons eyes as he peered into the small box. Read this! Jason demanded, flinging his fathers journal across the desk. I can tell by the doctors face and feel it within myself. He had been stalking Jeremy and Candy the entire evening. So this journal will have to serve as my confessor. Joshua suddenly understood what Jeremy had meant when he said that Stempel might not be the man he was if their father hadnt denied him. He loved your mother- Jason stood more slowly, reaching out to placate his friends anger. And hell slap another layer on the wall that keeps everyone else out. You act like it was all a game. Cmon, Jason. Have you written any more stories - and if so, will you please share them? Refresh the page, check Medium 's site status, or find something interesting to read. Why calm him down?, You dont think what Thompson did tonight to Aaron was right, do you?. He supposed he did look a bit odd, standing there silently with a wooden box clutched against his hip. You put everyone else to shame.. A spontaneous cheer rose from the loggers in the congregation. Most sheepish, though Josh could see a couple of surly faces, the men moved off up the mountain. Jason, there will never be room for that half-breed bastard at my table. No amount of Jasons considerable powers of persuasion could make him feel any different. For ten years Ive fought those sneaking Indians, now you expect me to deal with one as if hes white?, Fought Indians, my Aunt Mabel, Lottie muttered. Theyd truly bested him this time. A girlfriend? Just different than we were aware of before. He skimmed through the first few pages. Now and then, I suppose. Duncan sighed. What dont you know how to do, Aaron? You cant meanYou are serious!, Clinging to his arm, Candy dropped her head on his shoulder. It had nothing to do with all of us being family now., Certainly not. Jason waved at their remaining brother, who was wandering rather aimlessly around the refreshment table. Why dont you buy me a drink for a change?, Dragging his eyes from Jason, Aaron seemed to shrink as he let out a lungful of air. He didnt know where to start. I gotta finish these books before Jason gets back with Thompson.. Here Come the Brides In 1865 near Seattle, brothers Jason, Joshua and Jeremy Bolt run a successful logging company on nearby Bridal Veil Mountain, the business and property their parents left them when they died. I think you need to calm down a touch.. Candy continued in a tiny voice, isnt it? Im gonna take a walk.. Synopsis. A roof over my head, thats all I got. Releasing his hold, he allowed Thompson to sag back against the wall. His younger brother raised his hands in apology. If you had a sister that no one had told you about, would you want to know about her?, She shifted, her alert eyes taking in every nuance of his expression. You want me to learn about your father, then you should learn about my mother. A silent growl rumbled in Aarons chest. Hed never told anyone because theyd never asked. Now that youve read his journal, you must know how much he regretted losing you and your mother in Scotland. He could have been hatched on a hot rock for all hes ever told anyone. And will Aaron be able to prove his suspicions about the girl's father to prevent his wife from becoming the man's victim? Was that the reason why Jason, despite all the battles theyd fought against each other, had befriended Stempel? We only received one or two letters in the years he was gone.

They also shared more than ten years of history - clashing against each other and standing shoulder to shoulder when their town or family was threatened. Today, reading was the last thing he wanted to do. If you read morehe regretted what he said to you.. Finally his trembling legs and overworked lungs forced him to a halt. Was he simply what his experiences had made of him? Yes! That the mill wasnt up to standards? What you have a right to., Aarons grin grew wolfish. He read it again, then a third time, trying to deny what his eyes saw. That Stempels part injun?, Didnt sound like they was making it up. Youre scaring away my customers., Jason lifted his head with a half-hearted attempt at a grin. Leaving the door open invited all manner of vermin into the house. Many a night their father had relaxed in front of the fireplace, carving a toy that would eventually end in the pocket of one of the few children in the area. Damn, why was he thinking about all this? Hed been on edge for a couple of days, spending more time in town than usual. Jason spread his arms in an expansive shrug. Believe your mother a fine woman, who loved you and did what she thought best for you., Hiding his face from the eldest Bolt, Aaron rubbed his burning eyes. Every night I hear her voice in my head. The name of his mothers tribe captured his attention as he turned pages. Biddie has such good intentions but her timing could certainly stand improvement., No matter what Biddie said, Thompson was way out of line., Jason jerked his head. He wasnt going to read it. He denied it! A hint of pain showed through Aarons fury. Jason, m-maybe you oughta go check on him. Is that why you hate us so much? Josh asked. Or maybe you think Stempel held a gun to Fathers head and forced him to write it?, Knowing how ridiculous it sounded, Josh flushed hot. Its you, Duncan whispered. Taking a healthy swallow from his mug, Jason mulled over what Aaron had said of why hed asked for the truth from their father. Dinna the Stempels provide you with a home and family?, A home? Aaron had never before exposed his souls scars, but he wanted to hurt this man. Jason started, as if he hadnt meant for Aaron to hear. Im going to leave these here. Yeah, I guess I do., I hope learning of this does nae affect the love and respect I know you felt for your father, Duncan said. Do you know anything about Aarons mother?, Her eyes widened. Even thought wed only corresponded by telegraph I feel as if I know you already., Uncle Duncan. Jason turned his uncle toward him. Bobby Sherman also recorded music and was a heart-throb back then, too. Yet he craved the knowledge. It promised to be a long day and he had already had a long night, only a few hours of it spent sleeping. I never intended to shout it from the rooftops., Maybe he thought he couldnt take that chance with my mothers life, Jason shrugged helplessly. Im so confused, Joshs voice was muffled by his arms. Ask Lyle, then, why dont you. ***. :-) But the idea hit me like a lightning bolt and wouldn't leave me alone till I wrote down. Captain Roland Clancy brings the disease via his ship to the port of Seattle, Washington Territory. Business as usual, no change in relationships, status quo had its appeal. Briefly he debated whether he should tell her what hed learned this night. Robert Brown, pop music superstar Bobby Sherman and David Soul (TV s Starsky and Hutch) star in the classic television series HERE COME THE BRIDES, a delightful comedy that combines romance and adventure in the rugged landscape of the mid-nineteenth century Pacific Northwest.The Bolt brothers own a mountain and logging camp in Seattle, and as the area s only employer, the brothers borrow money . You should have known better than to sign a contract without locking in a fair price, Jeremy countered. He was but a babe in arms. He sank down in his chair with a groan. You should share it and some of your other stories here, too. Jeremy shuffled his feet but nothing could have stopped the wide grin from spreading across his face. I said we need a family vote.. The brothers shared a pleased grin but Aaron waited for the blow to fall. For two days, he fought the battle within himself. They were married just hours ago., Splendid. I mean about you and Jonathan., Why dont you ask Bolt? If not for the letter the girl left for him, I think he would tracked her to the ends of the earth.. What little hed learned from Aaron had only served to confuse him further. I did nae see it then. He simply wasnt a good enough actor to cover what he felt. He clamped his mouth shut, embarrassed by how much hed revealed. Lottie grasped Aarons clenched fist with both of her hands. Should he turn to his left and his house or continue up the path to Lotties? Why dont you let me be the judge of that? She shouldered him aside and walked in his house. I had a confrontation today with the boy whos building the mill. What a wonderful story! Whoever itd been, Jason had known about her. As Aaron opened the gift, Jason had a moment of trepidation. The self-satisfied grin on Thompsons face told him what he needed to know. Picking up a book at random, he began to read. I'm from Wisconsin. Wherere Josh and Jeremy? he asked as he lifted the lid from the pot simmering on the stove. Just as he exited, he spotted Candy daintily making her way across the street, Lottie and Biddie holding up her skirts to keep them out of the mud. Not me and Jeremy. That Im half-Indian? Well have to depend on you. He knew bird-dogging Aaron all night would only stoke the mans ire, but he couldnt dismiss the feeling that Aarons fuse was burning and the explosion would happen tonight. Emotions he didnt want to identify roiled through him. They enjoyed it! I really am fine, Lottie., She gestured him to sit down. Too early for those seeking dinner, the saloon was nearly empty. She knows what a parent is. Aaron regarded the leather-bound book with suspicion. Why, April Duncans breath caught. Have you ever thought that if Father hadnt rejected him, Aaron might not be a man like that?, Josh twisted away from the blue eyes that were so reminiscent of their fathers. Hurry back.. The sparks would fly when Jasons irresistible force met Stempels immovable object. He wasnt! Will anyone die? Not with an Indian woman. Not all the time, Josh admitted. This girl could barely write her own name. Josh, how can you say that? Jeremy grabbed his arm to prevent his escape. It seemed a lifetime since Jason sat at this table in Lotties, but had just been twenty-four hours.
