[Delmonico]

Still tied and gagged in the cellar, the wound on Delmonico's head starts to fester.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

While everyone else is enjoying their meal, Duke wanders down to the basement. He sniffs around some, then raises his leg on Delmonico's chair. Maybe he's marking the spot so he can find it again when he brings help!

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Duke goes back upstairs to mooch some eggs. Daisy heads downstairs, sees Delmonico and chews him free.

Claire is asleep at Trinity's feet, the mangled ex-pants next to her head.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes upstairs, graps the bottle of Iodine and goes into his office and slams the door, leavin' all three dogs outside.   Later he comes out, gives a letter to the pony rider and goes back in and shuts the door.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

As the eyes turn to the Frumpy Fairy Godmother after Delmonico grabs the iodine and slams the door, she protests.

"It wasn't me! I sent back the killer skillet!"

[Delmonico]

The next evening Delmonico is still in his office.  He's still alive cause he comes out once in a while for coffee but don't talk to anyone.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Duke scratches at Delmonico's door to be let in.

 All this chatter about food is making me hungry.....................later folks

[Delmonico]

Delmonico looks out his office door when he hears lil rooster, since lil rooster is working real hard to catch a bunch of horse theives and rustlers in the "Made up True Tale thread and since Trinity, Slim and himself are helpin with the search, Delmonico has a strange thought.  "Maybe the FFg is the leader of a bunch of rustlers and horse theives and is usin' the No Name Ranch as a hideout."

Nothing surprises me anymore.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

When Delmonico opens his door, Duke slips in. Content with the world, he curls up in his usual place and falls asleep.

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother, who has been absent from "the boys night out" made up true tale thread, has no comments in thoughts or words about any accusations of rustling livestock.

has no comments in thoughts or words about any accusations of rustling livestock.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will be used against you. 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes out of his office and heads outside.  He rides off on his mule, but he's back in a couple of hours and looks funny, "Why are there a bunch of strange cattle and horses over in the west pasture with a "Wagon Wheel" brand?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( Author's note: Dagnabbit, Del, that's not a wagon wheel, it's an exploding star and it's not my brand, it's my symbol. My brand looks like a set of linked initials, and the Frumpy Fairy Godmother had nothing to do with it!! Where's my skillet!? )

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( Symbol:




Brand:


And don't try to pin those cattle on me, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother doesn't know I exist! So there!



AnnieLee)

[Delmonico]

Slim?

(Authors note the "Wagon Wheel" brand is considered a rustlers brand because it could hide most brands.  It is not one that can be registared in most states and was used by Isom Dart/Ned Huddleson.  Over use of this brand caused Isom/Ned to obtain a bullet through his heart from what is thought to be a 30-30 one cold morning in December up in the "Hole in the Wall.  His companions of the time decided they did not have to pee that bad and stayed in the cabin till after dark and cut a hole in the back to slip out of. 

My thoughts are that when Isom/Ned was shot they no longer needed to go outside to pee, but had done it in their pants. )

[Trinity]

Trinity looks up wide eyed at Delmonico.  "You mean that Ah ain' 'posed ta eat them Waggon Wheel steers?  Thems some good tasting beeves!" 

Trinity thinks for a moment and then whispers to Slim:  "Slim, ya still got that runnin' arn ??  Ah got me an idear fer mah own Lollipop Brand!" 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother looks up from her crocheting.
"What is a wagon wheel brand?"

Meanwhile, Trinity's old drinking buddy, the sheep, finally comes to and staggers downstairs.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico and Duke go into his office, Duke slams the door.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Claire comes traipsing through the house, still toting the ragged pants.
