#eBook: The Man Who Talked Too Much by Roy Norton
The Westbound Overland on the Santa Fe Railway, although doing its splendid fifty miles an hour, seemed to two of its passengers to be moving at a snail’s pace; for the journey ahead of them was long, and their destination, which was far northward from San Francisco, the only spot on earth worth reaching. To increase boredom they had for so long been partners and fellow adventurers that all ordinary topics of conversation between them had long been exhausted, and the barren scenery through which they passed was too familiar to be worthy of interest.
“Lucky” Cochran they called him. Also he was eloquent—very. Too much so, felt David and Goliath. However, they came to think that he was not the only one that way.
Roy Norton, American newspaperman and author of pulp fiction, including those in the western and science fiction genres. Regular contributor to magazines like Cosmopolitan, The Popular Magazine, etc. Sometimes wrote as Roy E. Norton
