Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier

p. 81-121
Well, Ada and Ruby are doing a lot of work around the farm. Ada even decided to barter her piano and cabriolet for goods. While this is going on, Inman was walking still and he came across this man with a motion-less body in his arms. It was late at night and the man could only see what he was doing by the light of his torch. Inman approached the man with his metal gun sight on the man. The man claimed that he was a preacher and he had done an extravagant sin with this lady, especially since he was married to another. He was going to toss the alive, drugged-up woman over the cliff and down into the river to get rid of her. Inman told him to take her back to her house and set her in her bed. The man listened and I stopped reading before I found out what Inman was going to do with the preacher. Inman mentioned killing him. In these 40 pages, the author also takes us back to when Inman attended a party at Ada's house. In the kitchen, they had a "thing" going on for eachother and they flirted. That is all that was mentioned. I actually like the book a little bit. There is a lot of stuff going on and I never know what is going to happen next. I am looking forward to see what Inman does with that preacher. Will Inman kill him? I'll have to read to find out.
It is wrong to cheat, no matter what the circumstances are. I can not believe that the preacher cheated on his wife. I would not be suprised if Inman hurt him.
On Inman's walk, he came to a river that he needed to cross and he saw a sign saying that if you wanted a ferry ride, yell very loud. He shouted and a lady came out with a canoe and they started going across the river. While crossing, they were fired upon by the men that jumped him earlier on his walk in that one town. They escaped and he paid the lady extra because of the destruction of the canoe.

Well, that is all I have.
