Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane did not want to be the one to tell Boss this particular piece of news, but as the Sheriff of Hazzard County, and Boss' brother-in-law, he felt it was his sworn duty to warn him. So he took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Boss' Boar's Nest office, poking his head in. "Yoo-hoo. Boss? Can I come in?"

Boss Hogg sat in his barber's chair with his eyes closed as a pretty young lady massaged his shoulders. He opened one eye and looked at his bumbling partner. "You're already halfway in, Rosco."

Rosco giggled and stepped into the room. "Boss, I got some news to tell you. Yer not gonna like it though."

"Then don't tell me." Boss said simply, but he wanted to know. When Rosco started to leave he struggled to get his bulk out of the chair, waving his arms and legs. "Get back here and tell me!"

Rosco turned back and stood with his hat in his hands, nervously turning it. "I just came back from the Duke farm."

"You mean my farm." Boss corrected. "Did you serve Jesse with the papers?"

"Well, I tried to, but something happened."

"You can go now, honey. Thanks you very much." Boss said to the pretty little redhead who scurried out the back door. "Rosco, don't tell me you let those Duke boys shuck and jive you again."

Rosco shook his head. "No. They didn't even try to run this time. But I think you need to go out there and see for yourself."

"See what for myself, Rosco?" Boss demanded. He was growing impatient. He wanted that farm and the Dukes hadn't been able to make their mortgage payment. That meant he could foreclose on the farm and finally be rid of those pesky Dukes!

"Bo Duke's daughter."

"Bo Duke's what?"

"Daughter." Rosco repeated. "Apparently Bo Duke met some girl up in New York when him and Luke were racin', and she never told him she was pregnant. She showed up yesterday and just left this cute little girl with the Dukes."

Boss looked like he was about to pass out. "Bo Duke has a daughter! Do you know what this means Rosco?"

"I sure do, Boss. It means Bo's a daddy." Rosco said with his goofy little ki-ki-ki. "And she sure is a pretty little thing. Cute as a button."

"Rosco! I don't care how cute she is." Boss said. "She's a Duke! Another Duke!"

"Another Duke." Rosco repeated, realizing the meaning of the words. "Another Duke. But she can't cause too much trouble, Boss. She's only two."

"But she won't be two forever, Rosco." Boss pointed out. "And she's gonna grow up and be just like her daddy."
