[Scattered Thumbs]

Scattered Thumbs steps out to the porch, a coffee mug in his left hand.
Then he sees Silver Creeck Slim, a pail of milk in each hand, coming from the barn.
Scattered Thumbs grins, and then says. Howdy!   

Edit: Author's note: AARRRGHH! They left me hanging here. And I'm closing for the day.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Scattered Thumbs speaks to the FFG inside the kitchen. There's a letter for you!

She comes out on the porch with a plate in her hand. With a smile, she exchanges the food for the letter, handing him silverware from the pocket of her apron. "I'll take that when you are done."

[Stoney Pete]

Seein's how there's now pigs, Stoney heads for house.  Glad to see ST had his wits back, he grabs a cup of joe from the stove and sits on the porch.

[Stoney Pete]

"What news in the letter "

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother baps the top of Stoney's head with the letter.
"You sure are nosey for the new... " she takes a look at Scattered Thumbs, "one of the new guys. It's from Delmonico, he's in jail in Lincoln, something about a girl, a shotgun, and a wedding."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother quickly folds the letter and stuffs it in a pocket before someone can snatch it away from her.

"Well, if he's bringing home a bride, I s'pose we'd best clean out that office of his and turn it into a suitable bedroom for a married couple. I reckon that coaloil computer should be moved out of there, too."

Author's note: Sorry, I missed the post. 
Slim says, "Howdy" to the stranger and puts the milk in the icebox. He pours himself a cup of coffee and joins the gang on the porch.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Del probably 'I just kissed a girl' agin and was put in jail fer shooting someone."

Author's note: What actor said this in what movie?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Kevin Costner in Silverado. Do I get a prize?  )

[Silver Creek Slim]

(Kevin Costner in Silverado. Do I get a prize?  )

Author's note: Ya done good, Cuz. Here's yer prize:

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

As the Frumpy Fairy Godmother smiles at Slim, he can see that glint of *something* to her eyes.

"Nope, Delmonico's up and got himself married and he'll be here in a few days when he can get out of jail. I'll need you fellow's help in moving all his stuff out of that room and moving in a big bed and some pink lacey curtains, and bedspread."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Kevin Costner in Silverado. Do I get a prize?  )

Author's note: Ya done good, Cuz. Here's yer prize:

(Yay! That's the best kind of prize!  )

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Sure, I'll hep. Where we gonna move the stuff to?"

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

" I dunno, is there room in the barn?"

[Silver Creek Slim]

"The barn is plenty big enough." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"To the barn!"
And so, Delmonico's room and office are cleared out and all his stuff is tossed willy nilly into a corner of the barn.

The next day, two big brown stages arrive, bringing the four poster bed and all the frilly chintz linens, including the pink bedspead and pink curtains with ruffles.

Duke, on seeing the changes, won't go into the room anymore. He stands at the doorway and whimpers, his tail tucked.

No one knows what happened to the stranded broadband barbed wire.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"That looks right smart for the newly-weds' room." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Do you think she'll like us? I hope she'll be happy here."


As she speaks, Frankenbird runs up to leap on Daisy's back. Daisy howls and starts running around in circles, trying to shake off the mutant rooster. Trinity's drinking buddy, Sheep wanders in and and nuzzles The Cat.


And Duke.... whimpers.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"She should think it is grand." 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets up that mornin' in the Ravenna Hotel and has a  light breakfast of Smithfield ham, 1/2 dozen eggs over hard with Tabasco sprinled on the, biscuits and ham gravy and a cup of Earl Grey tea.

Boardin' the train he figgers the friend in Lincoln he telagraphed has sent the letter, heck it'll get there before he even gets to Lincoln.

But he needs to cover up his real bussiness till he gets back, but the time in Alliance has convinced him it will work.  The package from Omaha should be in Lincoln when he gets there.  Yep it will all fall together and it will sure surprise them.

Noon time finds the train near York and a fine lunch of Hamberg steak and Saratoga chips is eaten along with some Brazillian coffee.  Late afternoon the train pulls into Lincoln, the package is there and is sent by freight to Dunning.   

Delmonico is picked up at the station by a mysterious person in a buggy and is last seen heading up O st.  (Thats O st not 0 st, folks sometimes think we named our main street Zero street)
