Speaker 1 (03:49):
Melvin Jeffrey had sent me five hundred dollars to come
to Quorterville. It seems he was having trouble with a
man named court Newman. I had once known as sergeant
in the cavalry during the war by that name, and
I was curious to see if he was the same person.
The sun was setting when I arrived in the little
town propped casually on the sloping foothills of the Sierras.
Jeffrey met me at the hotel and insisted I have
(04:11):
dinner at his home. His daughter Myra had prepared an
excellent meal, which would have been more enjoyable without the
uneasy silence between the banker and his daughter. Ah. Oh,
that was a fine dinner, Miss Jeffery. Here's a perb cook.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It takes time to learn to cook. I have a
lot of time.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I yes, we all do. The difference is in how
we use it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
How do you use yours? Mister Paladin?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
With a gun Myra?
Speaker 9 (04:38):
That's uncalled for, is it?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's what he is? Isn't he a gunfighter?
Speaker 9 (04:43):
She's upset, Paladin. She didn't want me to send for.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You, should I?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Father?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You're trying to take court from me, hiring a gunfighter
to kick him out of town.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He's no good for you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No man's any good for me as far as you're concerned.
He's always been that way.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
Court Newman wants to marry you just so we can
get to my money.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Why do you keep saying that because you're.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Melvin Jeffrey's daughter and we have money, Let's not discuss.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You take money is everything?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You think? That's all I have to offer a man?
Will money cure the loneliness inside of me?
Speaker 9 (05:13):
I don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
About, No, father, No you don't.
Speaker 9 (05:21):
She's brought up, Paladin. You'll have to excuse you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Maybe she has a reason.
Speaker 9 (05:27):
Let me tell you something, Paladin. I've worked hard for
my money all my life. I've scrimped and saved, and
I've got something to show for it. That's why no
man like Court Newman or anybody else is going to
take it away from me.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, my daughter, You sure that's what he's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You bet it is.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
He's just like he's folks. They're always trying to get
money from me, but Court figures you'll get it for nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
His parents live in Portugal.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
Yeah, he used to had a miserable little ranch outside
of town. They're always trying to borrow on it. I
had to foreclothes. They wouldn't keep up payments.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I see, well, I have to get back to the hotel.
Thanks for the dinner, mister Jeffery.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
Ye walking to the dog.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Sorry you have to leave so early.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, it's a hard ride from San Francisco. I need
a good night's.
Speaker 9 (06:11):
Sleep, and don't forget what you came here or get
Court Noman, And I don't care how you do it.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I haven't said i'd take the job.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
Not take it. I paid you five hundred dollars to
come here.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You'll get your money back if I decide not to
work for you. But if I do take the job,
I'll see to it my own way. Good Night, mister Jeffrey,
mister Pallader, huh oh, Miss Jeffrey, I wanted to see
(06:45):
you alone. Why.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
There's one thing you have to know. My father's wrong
about Court, is he Yes, there was another man once,
a long time ago, and it was the same thing.
A gunfighter was hired and my friend was beaten and
chased away.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But it won't happen this time, Miss Jeffrey. I am
not planning on beating anyone.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I'm not young and pretty anymore, mister Pellison. But Court
loves me, and I love him.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I'm sure you do.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
And you remember this. Nothing's going to keep us apart,
not my father, not you, not anybody.
Speaker 10 (07:27):
Constipation can be a problem for anyone, even doctors, and
when constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors
consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend well.
A majority of the doctors we heard from had this
to say. A laxative should be effective, gentle, as close
(07:49):
to natural acting as possible, and a medicine that can
be used with complete confidence. Now, Excelax has been popular
with many doctors and millions of people over the years
because chocolate and xlax is effective overnight, it helps you
toward your normal regularity. Xlax is gentle next morning, it
(08:09):
gives you the closest thing to natural action, and that's
why many doctors and millions of people use x lax
with complete confidence. X lax, the laxative that helps you
towards your normal regularity gently overnight, is.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
X lax in your medicine cabinet. I could see the
haunting loneliness in the eyes of Myra Jeffrey, the loneliness
of a woman who had missed love, who had been
denied it by a possessive, selfish father. I could see
(08:45):
something else, a fierce pride that must have made it
difficult for her to talk to me about her feeling
for court. The next morning, I decided to look up
Court Newman and get his side of it. I found
him in the Portville Saloon, and even though I had
halfway expected it, I was surprised to see he was
the man I had known years before, Sergeant Newman of
the United States Cavalry, or should I say, mister, Yeah, sure,
(09:13):
said cap, and I got me a discharge for a year.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Now, My golly, it's good to see it's been eight
ten years.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, it has it done.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh what are you doing in these parts?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You live around here? No, you might say, I'm just
passing through.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Don't that beat all? It just shows it's a small
little world on it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
How about you, coy, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I live here about I mean in town, that's right, Yeah,
a little place.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
But oh well, I don't want to burn your ear
with that kind of talk. Now, come on, come on,
let's set at the table. I buy your beer, barkeep,
bring two beers to the table.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Lay in the corner.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Wow, what what kind of work you're doing on court? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You know ranch work mostly.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You know, funny, I always figured that you were you
were a lifetime army man.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So did I, So did I.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But I think happened oh so.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Well, Like I said, cap'n, I don't want to burn
your ear with that kind of talk.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm interested in the court.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Yeah, thank you, yes, thank you. Well, I got my discharge.
I figured on Rie and listening right away, but I
wanted to come back and visit my folks a while.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
First.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
I see they had a little spread out of town.
But when I got here, I found they'd been thrown
out clear off their.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Property by the banker. Yeah he.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How'd you know that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I know, mister Jeffrey.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Oh well, my folks are proud people, cap'n.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Like to broke him?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Or were they cheated out of their ranch?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Court, I'll say they were.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
They just fell back on some of their payments and
that stinking banker fall.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Closed on them.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Sounds like the law was in Jeffrey's favorite. Well that
don't make it right, maybe not.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
But do you know what I'm going to get that Jeffrey.
I'm going to fix him good for what he'd done
to my folks. I'm already working on it. You are, Yeah,
sure I am. There's two things in this world that
man thinks about one's money and the other is his
daughter in that order. So so I've been playing up
(11:09):
to his daughter for quite a spell now, and I
got her eating out of my hand.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I take it. Then you don't particularly care about it? Er,
of course not.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
But I'm going to marry her.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Capt'n.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yes, sir, I'm gonna marry her, and then I'll have
half of what belongs to that old skinflint, his daughter,
whatever money she's worth.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's a pretty rotten thing to do. Court, What did
you ever stop to think of what you might be
doing with a girl?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
What are you getting so up at you about?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Court? Where did you bury yourself respect? That girl loves you?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
How come you know so much?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I thought you was just passing through it?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Now Wait a minute, wait a minute, Now it's getting clear.
She told me that old miser was going to hire
a gunfighter to get rid of me.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
You're the one you're hereim an't you?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What's happened to you? Court? You're not the same man
I used to know.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm the same one, right enough?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Thanks for the beer, Cavin.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, it's just one thing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Maybe you remember there was only one man in our
whole cavalry outfit could handle a gun better than you,
And that was me.

Please leave it alone, miss Jeffrey. I want you to
do something for me. What stay here in my room

to kill me to keep you from getting hurt just
a few minutes ago in my room. You're going up
to that room and you're going to tell her the
truth about how you've been leading her on. But you're
going to tell her, gentle and easy, Court, because if
you don't, we will meet with guns, but only one
of us will walk away.

You think she came here from the hotel room, Paladin,
I hope so, Uh.
Speaker 9 (17:10):

Speaker 9 (17:18):
Came busting in a few minutes ago and ran right
to her room.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And what's this all about?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
It's my fault, mister Jeffrey. Paladin here, finally beat some
sense into me. And I told her, told her what
about how I didn't really love her at all?

You told her that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (17:36):

You made this saddle trampy dirt. Now Myra won't be
so smart now she listened to me. She's been listening
to you too many years.

Jeffrey.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Oh is that so? And I was right, wasn't I?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yes, you were right about Court, but you're wrong about
a lot of other things that came from Myra's room.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Mara, Myra, what have you done?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I didn't really mean to.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I was an accident.

How did it happen?
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Oh, that's an accident, that's all.

No, that's too late. Maybe it's best this way.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
And dog, don't say that.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, not again.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
But I'd give you anything, anything in.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
The world, like except love. That's one thing you couldn't
give me.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
What do you mean, Court, I'm here.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Mara, I'm sorry, Cord, I'm sorry. I wasn't pretty enough
for you.

or thirty move before you let him know and cannot
do that. If Miss Swang letkey boy, you have more
than full moved, he lose again.

He'll get over. Perhaps the next time is wrong, just

Speaker 2 (02:07):
But when you teach me.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
To play chess, you not teach me how to lose.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yes, but every woman must know how to lose. This
wrong and when.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Ah, YSA s miss wrong, will remember good?

Possibly are you smoking more now enjoying it? I have

Speaker 7 (02:54):
I have a real thinker.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Have a camel.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
How are you looking for flavor and mildness?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Have a real singer rat, have camel.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
The best tobacco makes the very best.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Mom, have a real tigert a real cigar wrett, a
real ccre record camel.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
If you're smoking more today but enjoying it less, try camels.
The camel blend of cost the Turkish domestic tobaccos has
never been equal for rich flavor, easygoing, mildness, real smoking
satisfaction every time you light up. The best tobacco makes
the best smoke.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Have a real cigarett, A real cigarett, a real ccre
retton came on.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Melvin Jeffrey had sent me five hundred dollars to come
to Quorterville. It seems he was having trouble with a
man named court Newman. I had once known as sergeant
in the cavalry during the war by that name, and
I was curious to see if he was the same person.
The sun was setting when I arrived in the little
town propped casually on the sloping foothills of the Sierras.
Jeffrey met me at the hotel and insisted I have
(04:11):
dinner at his home. His daughter Myra had prepared an
excellent meal, which would have been more enjoyable without the
uneasy silence between the banker and his daughter. Ah. Oh,
that was a fine dinner, Miss Jeffery. Here's a perb cook.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It takes time to learn to cook. I have a
lot of time.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I yes, we all do. The difference is in how
we use it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
How do you use yours? Mister Paladin?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
With a gun Myra?
Speaker 9 (04:38):
That's uncalled for, is it?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's what he is? Isn't he a gunfighter?
Speaker 9 (04:43):
She's upset, Paladin. She didn't want me to send for.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You, should I?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Father?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You're trying to take court from me, hiring a gunfighter
to kick him out of town.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He's no good for you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No man's any good for me as far as you're concerned.
He's always been that way.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
Court Newman wants to marry you just so we can
get to my money.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Why do you keep saying that because you're.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Melvin Jeffrey's daughter and we have money, Let's not discuss.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You take money is everything?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You think? That's all I have to offer a man?
Will money cure the loneliness inside of me?
Speaker 9 (05:13):
I don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
About, No, father, No you don't.
Speaker 9 (05:21):
She's brought up, Paladin. You'll have to excuse you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Maybe she has a reason.
Speaker 9 (05:27):
Let me tell you something, Paladin. I've worked hard for
my money all my life. I've scrimped and saved, and
I've got something to show for it. That's why no
man like Court Newman or anybody else is going to
take it away from me.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, my daughter, You sure that's what he's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You bet it is.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
He's just like he's folks. They're always trying to get
money from me, but Court figures you'll get it for nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
His parents live in Portugal.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
Yeah, he used to had a miserable little ranch outside
of town. They're always trying to borrow on it. I
had to foreclothes. They wouldn't keep up payments.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I see, well, I have to get back to the hotel.
Thanks for the dinner, mister Jeffery.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
Ye walking to the dog.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Sorry you have to leave so early.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, it's a hard ride from San Francisco. I need
a good night's.
Speaker 9 (06:11):
Sleep, and don't forget what you came here or get
Court Noman, And I don't care how you do it.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I haven't said i'd take the job.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
Not take it. I paid you five hundred dollars to
come here.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You'll get your money back if I decide not to
work for you. But if I do take the job,
I'll see to it my own way. Good Night, mister Jeffrey,
mister Pallader, huh oh, Miss Jeffrey, I wanted to see
(06:45):
you alone. Why.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
There's one thing you have to know. My father's wrong
about Court, is he Yes, there was another man once,
a long time ago, and it was the same thing.
A gunfighter was hired and my friend was beaten and
chased away.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But it won't happen this time, Miss Jeffrey. I am
not planning on beating anyone.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I'm not young and pretty anymore, mister Pellison. But Court
loves me, and I love him.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I'm sure you do.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
And you remember this. Nothing's going to keep us apart,
not my father, not you, not anybody.
Speaker 10 (07:27):
Constipation can be a problem for anyone, even doctors, and
when constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors
consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend well.
A majority of the doctors we heard from had this
to say. A laxative should be effective, gentle, as close
(07:49):
to natural acting as possible, and a medicine that can
be used with complete confidence. Now, Excelax has been popular
with many doctors and millions of people over the years
because chocolate and xlax is effective overnight, it helps you
toward your normal regularity. Xlax is gentle next morning, it
(08:09):
gives you the closest thing to natural action, and that's
why many doctors and millions of people use x lax
with complete confidence. X lax, the laxative that helps you
towards your normal regularity gently overnight, is.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
X lax in your medicine cabinet. I could see the
haunting loneliness in the eyes of Myra Jeffrey, the loneliness
of a woman who had missed love, who had been
denied it by a possessive, selfish father. I could see
(08:45):
something else, a fierce pride that must have made it
difficult for her to talk to me about her feeling
for court. The next morning, I decided to look up
Court Newman and get his side of it. I found
him in the Portville Saloon, and even though I had
halfway expected it, I was surprised to see he was
the man I had known years before, Sergeant Newman of
the United States Cavalry, or should I say, mister, Yeah, sure,
(09:13):
said cap, and I got me a discharge for a year.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Now, My golly, it's good to see it's been eight
ten years.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, it has it done.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh what are you doing in these parts?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You live around here? No, you might say, I'm just
passing through.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Don't that beat all? It just shows it's a small
little world on it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
How about you, coy, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I live here about I mean in town, that's right, Yeah,
a little place.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
But oh well, I don't want to burn your ear
with that kind of talk. Now, come on, come on,
let's set at the table. I buy your beer, barkeep,
bring two beers to the table.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Lay in the corner.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Wow, what what kind of work you're doing on court? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You know ranch work mostly.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You know, funny, I always figured that you were you
were a lifetime army man.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So did I, So did I.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But I think happened oh so.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Well, Like I said, cap'n, I don't want to burn
your ear with that kind of talk.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm interested in the court.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Yeah, thank you, yes, thank you. Well, I got my discharge.
I figured on Rie and listening right away, but I
wanted to come back and visit my folks a while.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
First.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
I see they had a little spread out of town.
But when I got here, I found they'd been thrown
out clear off their.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Property by the banker. Yeah he.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How'd you know that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I know, mister Jeffrey.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Oh well, my folks are proud people, cap'n.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Like to broke him?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Or were they cheated out of their ranch?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Court, I'll say they were.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
They just fell back on some of their payments and
that stinking banker fall.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Closed on them.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Sounds like the law was in Jeffrey's favorite. Well that
don't make it right, maybe not.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
But do you know what I'm going to get that Jeffrey.
I'm going to fix him good for what he'd done
to my folks. I'm already working on it. You are, Yeah,
sure I am. There's two things in this world that
man thinks about one's money and the other is his
daughter in that order. So so I've been playing up
(11:09):
to his daughter for quite a spell now, and I
got her eating out of my hand.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I take it. Then you don't particularly care about it? Er,
of course not.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
But I'm going to marry her.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Capt'n.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yes, sir, I'm gonna marry her, and then I'll have
half of what belongs to that old skinflint, his daughter,
whatever money she's worth.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's a pretty rotten thing to do. Court, What did
you ever stop to think of what you might be
doing with a girl?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
What are you getting so up at you about?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Court? Where did you bury yourself respect? That girl loves you?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
How come you know so much?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I thought you was just passing through it?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Now Wait a minute, wait a minute, Now it's getting clear.
She told me that old miser was going to hire
a gunfighter to get rid of me.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
You're the one you're hereim an't you?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What's happened to you? Court? You're not the same man
I used to know.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm the same one, right enough?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Thanks for the beer, Cavin.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, it's just one thing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Maybe you remember there was only one man in our
whole cavalry outfit could handle a gun better than you,
And that was me.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well, now it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Whatever it is, I'll double it if you leave town

No, Court loves me. Please leave, mister Paladin.

You'll leave me no choice. I've got to do it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Drop the gun. That was a very foolish thing to try.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
You don't know how it is.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Please leave it alone, miss Jeffrey. I want you to
do something for me. What stay here in my room
until I get back.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Why what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'm gonna find Court Newman. Court, get up, this said Paladin.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This the time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
This is the time, but not for the guns right now?
Get up, to get up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'll kill you, Paladin.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I get up, Court, get up. I want to hit
you again.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
No I can't. I'm handing up.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'll tell you something, Court, Mayra Jeffrey is up in
my room.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
What she's doing?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
She loves you, She loves you so much. She tried
to kill me to keep you from getting hurt just
a few minutes ago in my room. You're going up
to that room and you're going to tell her the
truth about how you've been leading her on. But you're
going to tell her, gentle and easy, Court, because if
you don't, we will meet with guns, but only one
of us will walk away.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
You think she came here from the hotel room, Paladin,
I hope so, Uh.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Paladin, what's now doing here?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Mister Jeffrey?
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Off my place?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Mister Jeffrey, is your daughter here?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, she's here.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Came busting in a few minutes ago and ran right
to her room.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And what's this all about?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
It's my fault, mister Jeffrey. Paladin here, finally beat some
sense into me. And I told her, told her what
about how I didn't really love her at all?
Speaker 9 (17:32):
You told her that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I want to tell her how sorry I am.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Paladin. You did it.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
You made this saddle trampy dirt. Now Myra won't be
so smart now she listened to me. She's been listening
to you too many years.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Jeffrey.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Oh is that so? And I was right, wasn't I?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yes, you were right about Court, but you're wrong about
a lot of other things that came from Myra's room.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Mara, Myra, what have you done?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I didn't really mean to.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
I was an accident.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
How did it happen?
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Oh, that's an accident, that's all.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
Go get a doctor, Helen.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
No, that's too late. Maybe it's best this way.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
And dog, don't say that.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, not again.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
But I'd give you anything, anything in.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
The world, like except love. That's one thing you couldn't
give me.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
What do you mean, Court, I'm here.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Mara, I'm sorry, Cord, I'm sorry. I wasn't pretty enough
for you.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Myrah? How did this, Paladin? How did this to her?
Speaker 9 (19:09):
You?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Turky, filthy shadow? Tramp.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You murdered my daughter.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You killed that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
No, no, mister Jeffrey, he was just the last reason
she started dying a long time ago, when you forgot
that a human being has to have love you a newspapers.

Oh thank you, hey boy, Hey boy, notice you feel

Ten games with whom missy one. I think she's just
lucky before. Now, hey boy, win first four moves.

games in the first four moves. Oh you thought, well,

first four moves. Miss one, I think you missed the point. Oh, no,

He's very good chess player.

or thirty move before you let him know and cannot
do that. If Miss Swang letkey boy, you have more
than full moved, he lose again.
