Synopsis

At the Leagans’ house, Candy learns that Dorothy is to be dispatched to Mexico as extra help on the Ardley estate. Mr. Leagan is away once more, unavailable to intervene. Anthony assists Candy in recovering the horses Eliza and Neil had driven from the barn, offering praise for her lasso work. The Leagan children had deliberately chased the horses, a diversion meant to frame Candy for theft. Consequently, Mrs. Leagan determines that Candy will travel to Mexico in Dorothy’s stead.
