"Lily and Eddie, Dr. Coatsworth and I are going to Castletown. I would like you two to come along, but it will be dangerous, as Archie should have told you," stated Ella quietly.
Eddie spoke up first, "I'm game!"
Lily was a second slower, "I'm in!"
"Well, Lily, you're going to have to dress like a lady's maid."
Lily made a face, but repeated, "I'm in."
Ella turned to Hayes, "I've decided that I need to NOT know the details of the plan. Lily should be in charge of the operation."
Lily squeaked, "Me??" while Hayes looked surprised.
"I have to assume that I'm going to be watched too closely to be able to do anything," replied Ella. "Eddie and Lily both brought what they need for a few days stay. Eddie should be able to get up to speed on the telegraph while Lily works with Hayes and Archie on the plan. I'll find Jimmy to ride back to town with me."
Ella left the infirmary, and followed the distant sound of gunfire to the practice range. She needed practice as well, and had her pistols, one in a holster on her belt that she always rode while riding, and the other concealed under her pockets. She could talk to Jimmy when everyone was done.
