You play Pepe Rey, an engineer riding into a town that calls its dry gully the River of Plenty. You have come to survey a railway line and to meet the cousin your family intends you to marry. Licurgo lists what Orbajosa values along the way, faith, family, onions, and knowing why strangers have come, and three armed riders stop to ask what is in your instrument case. Your aunt's welcome is warm; she keeps the map, then asks why a marriage begins with a land dispute.
