(01:26):
on one of the back roads ofthe Big Bend. An ancient Jelupe is
chugging its way along the road,snorting and backfiring, as though the voice
it's protests against the tiny, littleold lady who sits behind the wheel,
a high booted foot rammed down hardon the frottle. But then, oh,
(01:51):
fiddle faddle now, if that isn'ta fine way to behave after all
these years? Oh always, what'swrong with you? Now? Carefully raising
her calico pet notes, the oldlady hops down from the thin Lizzie and
raises the food. But as shedoes so, he suddenly notices something else.
Well, button my shoes. Youthere, heeare you? Don't try
(02:15):
to hide? I saw you comeover here cautiously. A figure rises from
the ditch beside the road where he'sbeen hiding, A figure dressed in a
drab gray uniform. But as heapproaches, the old lady merely peers at
him over the lenses of her silverrimmed glasses in apparent exasperation. We'll come
along, you big oaf man,your age playing hide and seek? You

grandma, Grandma Whale. When he'sGrandma's will, of course, Wendy's grandma.
That's what I said. Don't youfolks speak English down here? But
we never, I mean Wendy nevertold us that he oh Land takes.
I'll finding myself water Walter the lasthe duck for the woodshed when the shorting
started, right, Well, it'sabout side. If you came out to
(06:39):
see me. Damn, Grandma,where'd you come from? What's doing here?
I came to visit you, recorse, and I my dad. It
wasn't easy the manners of young peoplenowadays, Like that man I picked up,
Grandma, You picked up a man, I mean, on the road.
(06:59):
Something went wrong with Elmer and hewouldn't pick it until I promised him
a ride. Fine way for aman to behave. I'd like to know
what garage he worked that He saidhe was a mechanic, and he had
on a gray uniform. Like whatI tell you? Did you say a
gray uniform? Don't all the time, Grandma? Tell us what he looked
(07:20):
like? Not much to tell abig man, sandy colored hair. Oh
yes, I said, Notice onething. Just before he got out of
the car up the road, herolled up a sleeve and I noticed the
tattoo on his arm him a sortof a bird. I think the description
the sheriff gave me, son,Grandma, that man you drove to the
(07:44):
district. He's an escaped convict escape. Well, it proves one thing.
She's Windy's grandmother, all right.Now, let me get this straight.
You say this man I give alift to is an escape condy description fits
(08:07):
exactly, Grandma. Else we'd beenwarned he might try to make it to
the border with pressing bride booth.Now, Grandma, this ain't no lafe
from matter, why structure Lucky hedidn't hurt your no fizzle sticks water.
Your grandma knows how to take careof herself. I don't wear what happend
just to keep the lit on,you know. By the way, how
do you like this new bonny ofmine? Huhm oh? Oh you mean
(08:31):
your hat? Oh? Well,to tell you the truth, gnay Ages
bought it just for his trip,coming all the way from Paris Paris friends,
that is m uh? How howdo you like it? Take the
old? Very nice, Grandma,But you'll have to excuse me a minute.
(08:52):
I'd better let the sheriff know thisnews about loads see water, you
didn't tell me about this text Mason. He's a real sheet, now,
Grandma, you behavior shell twenty three? You do well? Who knows?
(09:13):
I might even set my cap forhim? Yes, very by Oh.
When I pulled the sheriff, hesaid he'd get right at it. He
claims he can seal the border upas tight as a drum, and I
hope he's right. But you'd havea long stretch to cover. That's not
(09:35):
as bad as it might be.That's all we had last week raised the
river quite a bit. Sure didnot be many places neft for men be
able to cross. That's what thesheriff's counting on. There's no telling how
long the river will stay at thislevel, except us to try to track
that convict down fast. But wheredo we start? Well, Grandma says
she left him off just up theroad. He doesn't notice different too,
(09:56):
well, I guess is that hejust had to do house. So that's
who we started looking. Man sayit's the best bet. Oh, hi,
son, I can make out withGrandma Whales. Get her all picked
up, Yeah, put her intoMaria's room. She's in there getting dressed.
Now. She was sa, Ithink you better watch out for her.

you. What matter of fact,she said she might What was it now?
Oh? Yeah, she said shemight set her cap for you,
mister Godma waists so funny. She'sgot to make you when you's Grandpa bring
(10:52):
you all over my knee to cutthis off. A lot more to worry
about than Grandma Whale setting her capform All right, then, before should
start out irish, You might startworking away up from the river and Harker.
Suppose you try from the other direction. Do you want me and Hacker
(11:13):
to split up? Well, you'llhave to if you're to cover enough territory.
Some of the boys can cover theground in between. And what about
me? Check? Can I helpto? You can help plenty of done
by keeping Grandma Whales entertained. Whilewe're gone. You and Wendy might take
it for a ride around the ranchfrom shore to side. The best way
