Broadway Bill Page #7

I can still hear them.

Whats the matter?

They've been there 10 minutes.

Having trouble with

Broadway Bill.

Turn him round there.

Hold him.

Get back there.

Turn him around and

bring him in here.

Guess he ain't ready yet.

Sure he is.

Nervous in his first race.

He'll outrun them all.

Hold him!

Don't let him through.

Number 5.

That horse is half nuts.

Joe, we're going home.

Thats the end of Broadway

Bill in this race.

Don't let him start again.

All right.

Poor Dan.

I wonder what he's going to

do with Broadway Bill now.

Hello, darling.

Hello.

Thats a nice robe.

Thank you.

Any news from Dan?

I had a letter from him.

Whats he say?

All about being sorry,

hopes I understand...

He still loves me,

wishes I'd join him.

I think that was about all...

the rest of its about a rooster.

Skeeter?

What did you call him?

Skeeter.

I gave him that name.

Broadway Bill won't run

without him.

3 pages devoted to a rooster,

and one to me.

Thats a perfect division.

Did you send Skeeter to him?

Of course not.

Broadway Bill needs him.

Don't be silly,

he'll be back soon.

Maybe this trip's

what he needed.

He'd never get it off his chest.

Margaret...

I...

Please don't mind if I

talk to you about this.

I know its presuming of me

to give you advice.

But, please don't do it.

Do what?

Don't give him up.

I haven't given him up.

But you're thinking about it.

Why not stay with him.

You'll not find someone as...

What are you getting

so excited about?

He loves you.

Doesn't that mean anything?

If Dan loves me,

he'll come back.

You're homesick, pal.

He won't perk up till

that rooster comes.

She gonna send him?

I don't know.

She hasn't answered my letter.

Skeeter!

Skeeter!

Princess!

God, its good to see you!

Look out for Skeeter!

I almost crushed him.

Hello, Skeeter!

Bill, here's your boyfriend!

Look who's come to see you.

I told you I'd bring him back.

Look, Bill.

Skeeter, get up there.

Take them out for a walk.

He missed Skeeter?

He was down in the dumps.

Horses get that way sometimes.

They get stuck on a mascot.

Princess, you're a lifesaver.

Lets take a walk.

Come on.

Lets take a walk.

Sit down and tell me

about it. How's Margaret?

Margaret?

She's all right.

She's coming down?

I'm afraid not.

She wanted to but

Matilda got the grip.

You know Matilda, always

sick at the wrong time.

Thats too bad.

You didn't have to come.

Margaret asked me to come.

She did? Well, give her a big

kiss for me when you get back.

I'm not going back.

What? Come on!

You're taking the next

train back to Higginsville.

Says who?

Says me.

How much money you got?

I need $25 to enter Bill

in the race tomorrow.
