THE CORRAL, ABILENE, TEXAS
He could feel Helen's displeasure but still he ignored it.
"Lawsy now, don't let nuffin like that bother you, honey. He
looks that good I'd risk him anywhere. Sides we ain't none o'
us perfect, and if we what's good loves 'em what ain't so good
seems like they might help 'em some. My! miss love's something'
money can't buy, and it's somfin' what aint worth much to any
'cept them whats got it. It's love's what makes folks good.
