I'll be doggoned! Can you tie that one?
gpt
Nope, Pete admitted.
human
I can't.
gpt
What would you have done?
human
Same thing you did, Joe. I will say, though, that it's some of the neatest shooting I ever saw. Lard Head was standing against Frawley Thompson's fence, and that bullet whistled close enough to curl his hair. I'll bet there's one Indian scared sober.
gpt
Was he drunk?
human
He's always drunk.
gpt
Makes no difference, Joe declared.
human
That kid of mine has to have some respect for people, Indians included. And he's got to realize that rifles are dangerous.
gpt
I kind of think he's beginning to. Shall we bring your mare mule in and shoe her?
human
Reckon.
