Rejtő Jenő - A Nevada szelleme

"Holborn looked at himself. He had brand new leather breeches with riding pads, shiny yellow spur boots, and a beautiful gray felt hat with a white ribbon and wide brim. He wore a blue silk scarf with white stars over his red hunting shirt, but the most amazing thing was his two Maxime brand automatic revolvers hanging from his shiny leather, polished as if he were a private on a day off, who would be turned back by the guard, unless he was a hair out of order. The same pedantry was evidenced by the 7.65 Mauser gun that hung above the seat. He didn't understand, then, why he would be ridiculous with such a carefully chosen Wild West appearance? - Would you mind explaining your words, Mr. Trickley? - You can see from his clothes that he has never sat by a campfire before. His weapons are so new that your eyes squint when you look at them. I don't think I'm wrong in assuming that he could easily miss a skyscraper from ten paces, fighting with both of his revolvers. Around here, people don't have time to care so much about their appearance. He who spends hours oiling his revolver, looks at the place where he sits, is a grocer or a vacuum cleaner agent. Holborn hissed. How does this guy know that he just came down here to the west because of vacuum cleaners? Until now, he believed that he would adapt to the environment in terms of style and blend in almost unnoticed among the farmers of the Far West. At first he will only make friends with them, then he will try to create a market for the "Satan" vacuum cleaner. He received money and an assignment for this."
