That sure smells good,Rachel. Thank-you, Buck. Where are Lou and the kids? They're out back. I'll go tell them supper's almost ready. Supper's almost ready, Lou. Thank-you, Rose. You better go wash up, you two. Where's Jeremiah and Teresa, Lou? They're washing up, Rachel. It'll be ready in a minute,anyway. Here they come now. It's ready, everyone. I think I'll take that deputy job, Buck. That's good to hear, Jimmy. You can tell Teaspoon when he gets here tomorrow. So how far along in school are you, Rose? I can read and write and do sums. And I know some history. I didn't tell you this before; but I teach school here in town. Has Daisy started school yet? She was about to before we had to leave home, Rachel. A neighbor lady would watch her while I was at school. Would you like to go to school here,Rose? Yes, we would. If it's alright with Buck. It's alright with me. You two need your schooling. And I won't be far away just in case Lynch comes calling. So it's settled,then. That was a delicious meal, Rachel. Thank-you, Jimmy. We'll do the dishes and you kids go out back and play. Do you know how to play catch,Rose? Yes, we do. So let's play. And before they knew it an hour had gone by and it was dark. Time to come in, kids. That's Lou calling so we better go in.
