    Why did Miss Fairchild call Mr Easton 'Dashing Western Hero'?
    Ans : In the course of the conversation, the ruffled man told Miss Fairchild that he was being taken to Leavenworth prison for seven years of imprisonment in the case of counterfeiting. As the conversation continued, the woman was surprised to learn that Easton had given up the life in Washington to become a Marshal in West. She was impressed with this and called 'Dashing Western Hero' who ride and shoot and face all kinds of dangers.
