California is a long way from Kansas. It's too long
if you start to regret.

Speaker 15 (13:14):
Any woman who'd abandoned her baby isn't gonna be swayed

than what he expected.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Now, what did you tell him?
Speaker 7 (14:09):

catch up with him easy until he rode off. I

What if her real mother shows up? Do you think
she will?
