Joshua stood near the parlor, with fellow businessmen. This was his crowd, where he belonged. He would make it through life as a successful railroad owner, with nothing limiting him. Not even his brother.
He glanced over his shoulder at the thought. The younger man was somewhere in the congregation behind him, in the dusty, loud bar across the foyer. Undoubtedly, he was drinking and playing cards with his rogue friends, the wrestlers and gunfighters...
It is ironic that two people so closely related are so different, people said all the time, observing Joshua and Lucas whenever one or both were near. Joshua will be a great business leader; Lucas will probably end up in jail before he's twenty-one.
Joshua just shrugged and joined the conversation again, forsaking thoughts of his younger brother.
