The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky
Written by Stephen Crane
The great Pullman (Pullman is a term for a luxury railway car) was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a
glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward. Vast flats of green
grass, dull-headed spaces of mesquite and cactus, little groups of frame houses, woods of light and tender trees, all were
Sweeping into the east, sweeping over the horizon, a precipice. A newly married pair had boarded this coach at San
Antonio. The man's face was reddened from many days in the wind and sun and a direct result of his new black clothes
was that his bride-colored hands were constanty performing in a most conscious fashion From time to time he looked
down respectfully at his attire. He sat with a hand on each knee, like a man waiting in a barber’s shop. The glances he
devoted to other passengers were furtive and sty. The bride was not pretty, nor was she very young She wore a dress
of blue cashmere, with small reservations of velvet here and there and with steel buttons abounding. She continually
twisted her head to regard her puff sleeves, very soff, straight and high. They embarrassed her. It was quite apparent
that she had cooked, and that she expected to cook, dutifully. The blushes caused by the careless scrutiny of some
passengers as she had entered the car were strange to see upon this plain, under-class countenance, which was drawn
in placid, almost emotionless lines. They were evidently very happy "Ever been in a parlor-car before?” he asked,
smiling with delight "No," she answered, “I never was. It's fine ain't it?” “Great! And then after a while we'll go forward to
the diner and get a big layout Finest meal in the world. Charge a dollar."
