Because much of the pleasure of "Hombre" is in the sudden surprises that pop out of the middle of it, I won't tell you, either, how it is that most of these people get from their stagecoach into the rocky declivities of surrounding hills, there to defend themselves from marauders, or what it is the marauders want, or which one of the passengers in the stagecoach is greedily guarding a hoard of "goods."
