Return To Snowy River Page #5

can turn off

half a dozen horses

in a year.

I'm looking for quality,

not stock horses.

The mountain horse

is bred for quality.

You'll need

cooperation.

People here go

their own way.

You needn't worry.

Jim's good

at getting people

to see things

his way.

All right.

I'll be back

in a week.

If you show me the numbers,

we'll talk contracts.

Right.

Hey, there!

Giddy-up, there!

Whoa!

Block them up here.

Hold them.

Right-o.

That brown horse,

Charlie.

And, uh...

the tall bay mare there

should do.

You certainly go

for the best.

That's what

I promised him.

Drop them off

at the new yards.

All together,

there's 74.

Right.

We'll go

to Bryce's now.

Come on, darlin',

if you fall asleep there,

I'll never move you.

I never

would've believed

I could feel so tired

and so happy at once.

Take it

a bit easier.

All my life,

I've been judged by who I am.

Up here it's just

what I am that matters.

You've always had that.

You know how good

it feels.

You've earned it.

I'll keep earning it.

[Neighing]

Did you know Craig

is trying

to undercut us

with Hawker?

Not afraid of competition,

are we?

He's slimy.

They're eating

out of his hand.

That's the first time

you've complimented him.

If you call it that.

Who'd want to lead

the hairy unwashed?

It's time we

paid him a visit.

Why?

Let him know

we're serious.

People like that

should not be allowed

to stand in the way

of progress.

Have you spoken

to your father about this?

I don't have to.

A nod's as good

as a wink.

We're all looking

for action, right?

Yes!

This is stupid,

and it's wrong.

Worse, it'll

bounce back on you.

Ask him about

his real motive.

LikeJessica Harrison.

Shut up,

Collins.

Yellow-streak Collins.

Gutless.

If that's the way

you want it,

I'm waiting.

I'll save my energies

for Craig.

Ha ha ha!

See you at

the debutante's ball.

Ha ha ha!

Yes, sir!

Ha ha ha!

Whoa!

What is it?

I heard something.

Settle them down.

There's nothing here.

Ah ha!

Ha ha ha!

Oh! Ha ha!

Very funny.

Ha ha ha!

Well, come on,

let's go.

Oh!

Ugh!

We've already lost

two hours of light.

Did you hear

about last night?

No.

Alistair Patton

and his mob of mates

ran into that stallion

of yours.

Oh, yeah?

Young McKay was killed.

We'll talk

to you alone.

We'll both hear

what you have to say.

You were warned

this might happen.

What?

Bringing her up here.

McKay's death

is a consequence.

How do you

figure that?

It was bound to happen.

Now those rich mongrels

will beat us with it.

You put it all

on Jessica?

That's not right,

and you know it.

We're being mindful

of our families.

She should go back
