Stars in My Crown Page #5

Ow!

How are you, Sarah?

Just fine as silk, thank you, Parson.

My, don't they grow!

They sure do.

These are for Harriet.

Thanks.

And if you're going by Harris' place,

I'd be obliged if you

leave this soup for old doc.

Tell Bessie just to add water.

Can you remember that?

Remember that, john.

When you coming to church, Jed?

Just as soon as you get god to

plow that bottom land for me.

Shame.

I'll see what I can do.

Ha ha ha!

Get along, josh!

What's the matter, chloroform?

Yeah, what are you running away for?

He's not gonna hurt you.

Don't you let him hurt you, chloroform!

Now, Perry, I didn't say

you couldn't knock it off.

I just asked you not to do it.

You said I couldn't.

Isn't that what he said, boys?

That's what he said.

Sure did, he sure did!

Wow! Did you see that?

Ow!

He's scared!

He's right scared.

Now, Perry, I was just joking

all the time. Perry, I...

I think I'll just draw

your picture on that wall.

Now, now, Perry, now, pe...

say, Perry,

Don't you think that's about enough?

It's enough when I say it's enough.

Pick up your hat and get out of here.

Ohh!

Perry puts me in mind

of a colonel I had once.

He never learned to protect his rear.

Doc?

Oh, doc?

Well?

Well, Dan Harris.

You just get home?

I arrived in Walesburg last night.

I take it you came to see my father.

I have a present for

him from Sarah Isbell.

You're supposed to add water...

well, he's resting.

He can't be disturbed.

He's not worse, is he?

He's tired out.

So am I; half the

town's been here today,

And the other half sent

word they'd come tomorrow.

Well, he can't improve

under that kind of treatment.

Nobody could.

I'd appreciate it, mister...

if you'd spread the word

That we're not holding open house here.

Well, don't get excited, Dan.

We want him to get

well as much as you do.

Give him a chance.

Please stay away from him.

If there's any messages...

Dan!

You, Dan, who you clamoring at?

That the Parson?

Kendall!

Yes, sir, it's the Parson.

Well, send him out here.

It's me he come to see, not you.

Side porch.

Well, good to see you at this hour.

Sit down, sit down, put your feet up.

I'm afraid I can't stay.

Oh, you don't want to

pay no attention to Dan.

I was treating heart cases

before I met his mother.

Put your feet up and be comfortable.

You sure there's

anything wrong with you?

You look spryer than a jaybird to me.

The fact is, if you want to know it,

I've walked out of my front

door for the last time.

Next time I make the trip,

I'll be riding in style,

And you'll be helping to carry me.

For once, doc, I hope you're wrong.

Well, for once I ain't.

Here's Dan come to chase you away.
