The Mexican turned back to Preacher and extended his hand. “I am Vincente Ojeida. That is my wife Elgera and my daughter Lupita.”
Preacher shook hands with the man and said, “Glad to meet you, Vincente. I reckon you heard my name.”
“
Sí
. The fame of the mountain man called Preacher has reached even here.”
Preacher waved a hand. “Fame's just a matter of luck, usually bad. You run into enough trouble and live through it, folks start to talk about you.”
“Like killing a grizzly bear with only a knife.”
“What folks don 't mention,“ Preacher said dryly, “is that that ol' griz came might dang close to killin' me too.”
“And yet you live.”
“I got an advantage some folks don't,” Preacher said. “I'm just too blasted stubborn to die.”
