George hesitated for just an instant. Would Daisy want to be involved in this? George went over the list of the dead in her mind. The marshal, Lex, Weevil, Harry, Miho, Crane, Clarice.
Aside from Harry, Daisy had been her usual outgoing self with all of them, but not particularly close to any of them. George decided that Daisy wouldn't be terribly put out to miss what promised to be a grimmer than usual task--they didn't ordinarily reap people they'd known at all, much less lived with for several weeks.
"Yeah," George said, "Yeah, I'm up for it. That's why I get the big money," added with an unsuccessful attempt at levity.
"What about Daisy?"
"Eh--let her sit this one out. She's had plenty to deal with lately. Let's get this show on the road."
