Return to Shiloh Chapter 28: Home Again)
That was a delicious lunch, Josie. Thank-you, everyone. I was glad I could help. Will you and Ellie be staying with us another night, Randy? Well, now that the storm's over and the place is cleaned up I reckon we'll be going on home, Judge. As soon as we're done here, I'll come back for our things. Alright, Randy. It was good having you both with us last night. And you ought to think seriously about digging a storm cellar out here as well. The boys would be glad to help you with it. I sure will do that, Judge. As soon as I can. I appreciate you all helping us out today, boys. Think nothing of it, Randy. Shucks, that's what friends are for. Isn't that right, bossman? That's right, Trampas. Well, if you're going to get your things we'd best get going. And it wasn't long before they got back to Shiloh and gathered their things. Thanks for helpin us out, everyone. You're welcome, Randy. You know with everyone coming home I've got an idea. What's that, Uncle Henry? I say we have a party here just like we used to. That's a wonderful idea, Uncle Henry. Let's see today is Wednesday so we have plenty of time to plan it. Saturday night here at Shiloh five o clock. You and Ellie are invited, Randy. We'll sure be there, Judge. And you and all the boys in the bunkhouse are invited too, Virginian. And that includes you as well, Jamie. You're one of us now, too. I'll sure be there, Judge. And we'll send word to Betsy and David and the children. And Emmett as well. Goodbye, Judge, Josie. Thanks for havin us. You're welcome, Randy. Take care. Goodbye, Josie. Goodbye, Ellie, dear. We'll see you later, Judge. Alright, Virginian. Jamie, come into the house so I can take a look at that bandage on your arm. Alright, Josie, sure. It is getting a little tight. I think you'll be able to take this off pretty soon, Jamie. That's good to hear. And then I'll move into the bunkhouse with the other boys. You can stay here as long as you need to, Jamie. You could never outwear your welcome with us. Always remember you have a family and a home here with us, Jamie. Thanks, Josie. And thanks for fixing the bandage. It doesn't feel tight anymore now. I'm glad I could help. How's your arm feeling? It's just about healed,Judge. That's good to hear, son. And when it's completely better, you've got a job and a life here on Shiloh. I'm grateful, Judge. And I'll stay for as long as you'll have me. I'll have supper ready in a little while, you two. Alright, Josie. Come, Jamie, let's leave my niece to her preparations for supper. There's some things in my study you might like to see. Alright,Judge.
