knew that fella, that one in the dark west and
over there in front of the dodge house.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I don't think I do.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Why Well, I just wondered if he was maybe some
kind of a law man or something. He'd been asking
so many questions around town or what.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Kind of questions?

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Well, mostly it seems like he's trying to track down
a fella named hob or Abe or abb Butler or
something like that.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Oh, he's asking.

Speaker 6 (09:53):
All over by.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
Him, ab Butler.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, how about I have a talk with that fella?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Oh well, is it something hard to know about? Michell?

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Not sir?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Illant with it? I've done it. Nobody never want I'll
see at the office after Anon.

Speaker 10 (10:19):
I'm my dolemen that badge mean you're the Marshall and
I'm the Marshall.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Oh you well, now, Marshall, my name is Joe Leeds.
I hear you've been asking a lot of questions. We're
It sure gets around, don't it. You're looking for a butler.
You sound mighty interested, you know him? My job to
be interested.

Speaker 10 (10:43):
I ain't in the habit of asking help from the
law on, Marshall, what are you wanting for it? Well,
like I said, it ain't no concern of the law.
It might be what are you wanting for it?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Why?

Speaker 10 (10:54):
It's a personal matter, just a personal matter, no need
for you to interest.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
So sometimes these personal matters interest me very much.

Speaker 10 (11:04):
I'll tell you something, Marshall, This ain't going to be
none of your business, one way or the other. When
I find that butler, and I will find him, it
will be strictly between him and me, that's all, you know.
Won't last long.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
I'm gonna tell you something.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
You can make it my business in an awful hurry, leads,
and I'll be around just in case you do well.

Speaker 10 (11:27):
Now, I sure do admire a man who cottons to
his job the way you do. But I'm gonna attend
to this. I'm gonna find that butler, and I'm gonna
attend to it, and there won't be nothing for you
to do at all.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
I wouldn't count on that.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Him just a short beer.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
I gotta get back to the office.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Sure thing, Doc, I tell you some.

Speaker 7 (12:07):
I sometimes think beer will be as important to civilize
in the West as anything.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Yeah, thank you, Thank you? Goes down good, don't it.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
It goes down good, and it doesn't heat up a
man like whiskey does. It gives him a little time
to think while he's drinking it. And it's about as
good a remedy for dust and the throat as.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I know of. You sound like you're making his feet, Doc.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
He's going on about how good the beer.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I'll wait a.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
Minute, Wait a minute, Han, I didn't see this beer.
I was talking about beer in general. Oh come now, Doc,
is not so bad?

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Oh no, it could be a lot cooler.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
What couldn't Well?

Speaker 7 (12:49):
I guess you're right, kid, is it's better than nothing?

Speaker 5 (12:52):

Speaker 6 (12:53):
I'm not Why did you come on at the table,
Doc and said down?

Speaker 8 (12:57):
No, I can't get it?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Thank you?

Speaker 8 (12:58):
Just the same man, I got to be a sick
man up in.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
The office, so I don't want to leave him alone
too long.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Anybody I know?

Speaker 4 (13:06):
I don't think so, kiddy.

Speaker 8 (13:08):
I've never seen him before.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
What's the matter with him?

Speaker 4 (13:10):
It was shot in the back and he's.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
Been in bad shape, real bad shape. So h yeah, well,
I gotta get back.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'll see you later.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Givvy sure, doctor.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
I'll tell you one thing, kitty. If I ever got
me a bullet in the back or anywhere else, I'd
sure want Doc around to dig it out for me.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah. He's an awful good doctor.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Oh he's more than that.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Yeah, sure, yeah, taking such close care of a fellow
I never even saw before, staying up there in his
office with him in all this heat.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
You know, I bet he doesn't get paid a cent.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Doc's a fine man. All right, Another drink, mister.

Speaker 8 (13:58):
No more?

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah? Where is Doc's up?

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Why? Right down to the end of the street, mister,
and up some side stairs. There's a sign hanging there.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
Hey, mister, you got some change coming.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
I don't know what put him intersection on fire to
hurry all of a sudden. He's been standing here drinking
beer most of the morning.

Speaker 8 (14:24):
Funny he didn't ask Doc when he was standing right.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Next to him. Yeah, it is funny, Kenny, Do you
want a beer? Kenny? You know that fellow who just
went out of here? Will you ever talk to him?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
No matter, I haven't something wrong.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
I'm not sure I know one thing, Marshall. What's that sound?

Speaker 6 (14:45):
He can't be feeling too good. He just asked me
where the doc's office was, and he seemed to be
in an awful hurry to get there. And that's where
he's headed right now, That's what it seemed like. He
didn't even wait to pick up his chair.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Se Oh, don't marry. Are these letters just not now? Chapter?

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Well, my land, I might just run off the gear.

my damn muscle. Don't come after me. I'm down upstairs. Ladies.
You're not stopping me now. Ladies, you.

Speaker 2 (15:48):

tend them at once. With the bullet in the back.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
He had it coming. You've run off with the money?
You all right done? Yeah, Chester, I'm all right.

Speaker 11 (16:03):
What money leaves from that bank down in Texas. We
rubbed it to get it. We shot the teller and
butler ran off. You hit it coming, Marshall. You better
be telling me the truth. Lead ain't no us for
me to lie sheep on me. You find the money,

(16:28):

Speaker 4 (16:37):
He's dead and does Yeah? You know what he was

off and leave his gold and if he went to
all the trouble to get shot.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Up for it.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
It's better to leave it behind to lose it all together.

So let's try over there, Chester, under that tree?

How that maybe you ought to be an undertaker?

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
