Chapter 11: In Town) Is that the general store, Uncle Henry? Yes, it is. We'll be needing to get some supplies here. Isn't that Randy over there? Why, it is. Let's go say hello. Howdy, Judge. I heard you were back in town. It's good to see you again,Randy. Howdy, Miss Josie. Hello, Randy. And who is this? Judge Garth, I'd like you to meet Ellie. Her pa was a good friend of mine. Hello, sir. I'm pleased to meet you. How old are you? I'm seven. I had a a little girl like you once. What happened to her? She grew up and got married of course. What's her name? Betsy. That's a pretty name. Who are you, miss? My name is Josie? And this man is my uncle. He's my guardian just like Randy is to you. Would you like to come inside with me? Yes. I'll be there in a minute, Josie. Alright, Uncle Henry. So when did you move back here, Randy? About a year ago, Judge. The Virginian wrote and told me you'd gotten a place of your own. I was proud to hear it. Thank-you, Judge. What happened to Ellie's parents? Her mama died when she was small and her pa was killed by a runaway team. Me and her pa were real close so I took her. How did you know her father? We grew up together back home. When he was killed we were workin on the same ranch. I never knew your parents, but I'm certain that if they were alive today they would be proud of you. I know I am. Have you heard from Betsy? I got a letter from her just recently. She and her husband are going to move back here. They are? That's good news, Judge. It certainly is, Randy. I want you to know that if you need any help with Ellie, Josie and I will be here to help. Thank-you, Judge. I'd be glad to take you up on that. And Judge? Yes? I want to thank you for givin me a fresh start the way you did when I first come out here. You're welcome, Randy. I was more than glad to do it. I believe in giving people who've had trouble a fresh start. Well, I guess we'd better go see what Josie and Ellie are doing. You two are welcome to drop in for a visit anytime, Randy. We sure will, Judge.
