Ritt could tell from Lottie's sobs that she was a very sorry young woman, and that she'd likely be sleeping on her side or belly tonight. Still, he was a bit unsure how to handle her after the spanking. When he'd spanked her before when she was a girl she ran out of the room to cry elsewhere. Now she was prone across his lap and the bed and sobbing freely. He did the first thing that felt right, patting her gently on her back as she reined in her sobs.

"There you go," he said, "I'm sure you're quite sorry and will learn from this. Let's make sure I don't have to do this again, all right?" he added. When she finally lifted herself off his lap he stood up, unsure if she wanted a hug or not. Was he supposed to hug her? He didn't have any children of his own, and this was the first spanking he'd given since that one he'd given her years ago.

He put his hand on her shoulder and smiled slightly. "I just want to keep you safe. Always know that," he said.

It took Lottie several minutes before she was able to compose herself to a state where she wasn't completely sobbing over her uncle's knee. It had been a while since getting spanked, but her father - strict as he was - was always willing to comfort her after her, or allow her space until she came to him and asked for a hug. It was good that Ritt didn't completely dump her onto the ground and leave; she couldn't really recall what had happened directly after her childhood spanking with him, if he had comforted her or not.

Eventually, she managed to lift herself off his lap, her skirt falling back into place, and she quickly wiped the tear stains away from her face when he got off the bed. She nodded at his words, knowing he wasn't lying, before she - in the spur of the moment - stepped forward to hug him around the waist, much like a small child, since he was much taller than her.

Ritt was surprised when Lottie stepped forward to hug him. He'd expected quite a bit more anger from her, but he was glad that she did so. He didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with her, and she clearly recognized that she'd deserved her punishment. He hugged her back, a bit awkwardly as he towered over her, and then gave her a reassuring pat on her back before holding her at her shoulders and asking, "You gonna be OK? Do you want something to drink? I should have some tea, though you're old enough that I'd let you have a sip of whiskey. It might help the soreness a bit," he said, smiling. He hoped she'd appreciate the joke; one difference between Ritt and his brother was their view of alcohol. Although he was no drunkard, Ritt enjoyed a nightly drink or two to cap off the day. His brother was a proud teetotaler and a vocal leader in local Temperance groups. Of course, he'd not subvert his brother by giving his niece alcohol during their time together, but he hoped to make the situation a bit lighter.

"Anyway, I'll let you get ready for bed. As far as I'm concerned, everything that's happened is behind us. Get a good night's sleep," he said, finally turning and leaving Lottie to herself.

Lottie was glad that her uncle didn't immediately push her away from the hug, and she was also glad that he didn't seem too angered everything was done. (There had been a few spankings in the past where her father had still been angry the next day, whether from the situation that caused the spanking - or other repercussions that had occurred once everything was done.)

She also let out a small laugh when her uncle mentioned whiskey. While Lottie had no problem with those who drank (as long as it wasn't in excess), she knew her father would disapprove, and truly she had no desire to drink to begin with. "I think I'll be fine, thank you," she said quietly, just wanting to sleep off the spanking at this point. Sleep was always a good solution.

And it was a surprise, after Ritt left and she changed into her night shift, that she fell asleep very quickly.

The next morning, Ritt got up at the crack of dawn and went to fix some coffee and breakfast. He let Lottie sleep in as long as she needed as he went to run his morning errands in town. One of those was getting the local news. He picked up a newspaper at the shop, which had the following headline:

BART CALLOWAY ESCAPES
Brother Ed busts outlaw loose at the gallows
Outlaws target Judge Bolding, who was unharmed

Ritt had to hide his feelings about the headline from the other customers, but Bob and Doris Van Slyke, the fifty-something couple who owned the general store and who knew Ritt's full identity, gave him a knowing glance.

"This Calloway boy sure is hard to kill, ain't he?" he said.

"They should shoot him in the back and be done with him," said a man who was at the counter buying tobacco. "I'd sure be afeared if I was Judge Bolding. Doesn't he have a daughter? I hope he's sending her to the other side of the country."

Ritt nodded. "Me too," he said.

He returned home, newspaper in hand, not looking forward to breaking this news to Lottie. He'd have to contact his brother somehow. Their arrangement was looking a lot more complicated, and perhaps it would last a much longer time now.
