If you don't mind, I have to look after my husband...

Good to see you again.

Sorry, but I don't have time to talk right now. I'm going back to the ranch.

Walter! My husband's... No, it can't be!

Not right now. I've got to make sure my husband gets enough rest. He's much too involved in this Gunderson business for his own good. Maybe tomorrow.

He's got his reasons. And when that man gets a notion stuck in his head, he's like a Bighorner bull that's seen red.

And if it means Heck Gunderson's involved, then you better step aside before the stampede tramples you over.

It's not my place to say much, Walter thinks this is a man's job. I swear, I won't see the day he'll get over that Heck Gunderson.

Oh, a good ways west of here, in a place you've never been. Far as we concerned, only name it ever had was "Phebus Ranch."

That was before we lost some land to Heck Gunderson. The bank demanded payment in full the day after the Stockmen's Association bailed it out.

If that's what you want to talk about, go see Walter. He'll talk your ear off.

Everything he says about the evils of Heck Gunderson is true, but I've never held the notion that fighting evil with evil carries the world forward.

I'm done talking about that man. If that's what you want, step on over to Walter.

A good life if you don't mind hard work. The only real fuss is the constant bother with varmints.
|

Fail to catch Molerats early in their breeding, and you'll have three or four head breaking their ankles in Molerat holes every day.

Of course, the worst varmint at all is a Brahmin Baron with his hands in the pockets of a Republic senator. {'Course}

That's a problem you can't solve with a Varmint Rifle, though I fear my husband's apt to try. He's got Heck Gunderson in his sights right now.

That's very kind of you. Maybe this'll be the dawn of a new day.

I'm not surprised. You don't see folks rushing to help each other around here.

I don't suppose you have the magic powers necessary to bring my husband to his senses, do you?
|

He swears he won't leave this godforsaken city until he's seen Heck suffer. So far as I can see, we're the only ones in pain.

As I was saying, I'd be grateful if you could convince Walter to give up this doomed crusade of his.
