Chapter 10: Funny Story) Before Rachel came to live with us; we were having a hard time finding someone to cook for us so Teaspoon hired this woman and she was a force of nature, as Cody put it. Was she a grump? She was the most cantankerous woman I ever crossed paths with, Rose. So what happened, Buck? One day she called Ike a dummy and I sent her packing. And that was the last we ever saw of her. How did you get rid of her? I turned over a bucket of soapy water on the floor. That's pretty funny, Buck. And she deserved it, too. Was Teaspoon mad? No, he was as glad to get rid of her as we were. I try to get along with people and treat them kindly no matter how they treat me; but I don't have any use for those who treat others cruelly. That was a lovely ride and I enjoyed it. So did I, Buck. I'll take care of the horses, Rose. Thank-you, Buck. Thank-you for everything you've done. Did you have a nice ride? Yes; we did, Lou. How did you like the barn and the horses,Daisy? I love them, Lou. I love ponies. Rachel's fixin lunch so you both better wash up. The wash basin's outside. Thank-you, Lou. I can't believe we forgot to wash, Daisy. My mama always had me wash before a meal. Emma was the same way when we lived on her place, Rose. How was your ride, Buck? It was good, Rachel. What's for lunch? There's stew on the stove and I've got some fresh bread. Did you hear a someone ride up, Buck? I hear it; too, Lou. I'll go see who it is. Alright, Rose.
